Bare Nex-Gen Drysuit

[cstreu1026]

I recently decided its time to buy my own exposure protection. I was considering a Bare SGS 7mm Artic 1 piece and a 7mm SGS hooded vest. But now I am questioning that idea. The same webite where I found a good deal on the wetsuit has the Nex-gen drysuit for about $100 more than the wetusit and vest combo.

Is this a good dea on a decent suit? If it is I am going to get one for my fiance and myself.

If you are on an extreme budget and you want to dive dry the Nex-Gen is a pretty good choice. I like mine alot and it has held up really well so far.

STOP! If the Nex-Gen is costing you more than $750, I suggest you call the shop in Canada that I used and buy a BARE ATR Light Tri-Lam for about the same price because of the Canadian-US Exchange Rate.

I too was going to buy the Nex-Gen until someone on the message board (thanks) told me to call Canada and buy the BARE ATR from there and save big - and I did!

$750.00 for the Nex-Gen is an extreme ripoff in my opinion. If you shop around you should be able to save at least a couple hundred bucks.

LP sells the Nex-Gen for around $500.

My wife got hers brand new for 650.00 delivered from canada and included the nex-gen drysuit, Trek boots, Bare tech hood, CT-200 undergarment and LP hose.

I got the ATR Light with vulcanized boots (molded in), bag, LP hose, talc, for $770 from Canada.

I found the Nex Gen for $485 from Divers Wholesale. I am going to try and get a deal on it locally since I will more than likely be buying one fo rmy fiance and one for myself.

Is there any reason not to buy the Nex Gen? I haven't been able to find anything bad with the suit.

But it is one of the suits I tried on when I was shopping. The problem I had with it is that it comes in a very limited range of sizes. A women's large fit me OK but the legs were just HUGE on me.

If it fits i see no reason why you shouldn't consider it.

I ended up with on OS Systems suit bought on ebay from a guy who used it about 10 times.
