I skimped on the manufacturing of my custom Bare Trilam Pro Dry by eliminating a pee valve in its construction. I am having second thoughts regarding the importance and neccessity of having an aparatus of some kind to catch and dispose of unwated pee quickly.

Any solutions regarding this matter is greatly appeciated.

You can add a pee valve by yourself or have it installed in most LDS.

Do you mean a pee-bag and a pee-valve, OR, just the pee-valve, hose, and condom?
I use just the pee-valve.

Install one or have one installed. Problem solved. I don't dive dry without plumbing. Once you have you will never go back.
 
Just make sure that you install a piece of wood inside the drysuit leg before you give the holepunch a hearty whack with the 4lb hammer.
And don't forget to shave before using the condom the first time.

I'd say a p-valve is required equipment for just about anyone over the age of 50. Between my morning coffee and trying to stay hydrated, I probably pee three or four times between donning the drysuit and doffing it after the dive.
 
Install a pee valve, not hard to do once you decide to poke a hole in the suit, totally worth it.


This took me 15 minutes...... 10 of that was getting over the anxiety of punching a hole in a brand new drysuit.

Of note some manufacturers will void your warranty if you do it instead of a approved shop so it's up to you whether to do it yourself or have it done.
