Tusa, I'm hope you are having a very nice Thanksgiving! Let's face it - no matter how bad things get, there is always something...or someone...to give thanks for/to...

So, I am on your website and a little frustrated.

I went to your screen titled "SIZE CHART", which linked to a page called "How to measure your body". This page has 8 measurements, 9 if you count that item 7 has two parts. This page links to a page called "Body Measurement Guide", which has 16 measurements, but does NOT include one on the previous page!

Okay, no problem, just take a deep breath and go with it. So I take all the 16 measurements on the second page, PLUS the one not included...and I'm done, right?

Well, I cannot find any drysuit sizing chart anywhere! I mean, I have all my measurements, but I cannot find a chart that says I should order this size or that size, depending on my measurements!

So I am laughing out loud (LOL), since I am all excited about a possible purchase, I am looking at the suit tomorrow but have no clue what size I should order or even what sizes are available!

Since this is a relatively small problem in the big picture (life), I'm not getting too bent (bad choice of words) out of shape over it. But maybe, if you get a chance, you can just direct me to where the suit sizes chart is located?

Thanks, and again, I hope you, your family, and scuba divers everywhere a healthy and loving Thanksgiving!
 
Okay...post Thankgsgiving update. I found the size chart on the Waterproof USA website. Maybe that's where I should have been going all along?

I bought the D1 hybrid on Friday. I'm sitting here with the registration card...and...there is no place on the Waterproof website to register my purchase!

What a bummer! That's the difference between a good website and one that stinks! No problem, I'll figure out something.

Tusa, I'd like very much to be notified when the integrated gloves are available. How can I make sure that I will be notified?
 
NJMIKE - I'd be interested to hear how you get on with this suit. I bought mine and collected it Friday last week. I did a pool dive on Monday evening and my first impressions are good, I'm new to drysuit diving so have nothing to compare it to, but it was comfortable and once I got used to the bouyancy control found it very comfortable and easy to use. I went to the UK importers premises to try before I bought and I ended up with one size smaller than the charts suggested I should need based on my measurements, and that was testing it with the Waterproof bodyzor undersuit which I bought with it.
 
Phil, I am new to drysuits also. This is my first. I won't get to try it until early April, most likely. I am now getting ready to install a pee valve. Also, Waterproof is saying that they will have integrated dry gloves coming out in 2012. I'll be looking for those, too.

Good luck with yours!
 
guys, this is a rather old thread, i know,

however,

i just ordered my d1, actually one size down from waterproof's chart recommendation,
M/L instead of L, which feels a tad tight, but the L felt rather bulky in store.

are you satisfied with the suit? any problems you had by now?
post a few words if you please...

thank you
 
Overseas, there are more threads under "Waterproof" as that is the supplier here in the US. Wrist seals seem to be a problem with this suit. There is a long thread in the Waterproof section. Waterproof has been good as far as trying to help resolve the leaks, but the last time I tried I still had the problem. My dive season was cut short by hurricane Sandy here in NJ, and I will try a pair of dry gloves with the suit next season.
 
thanks, i' ll check it out...
the local dealer said the 2013 seals are improved, plus a friend with a 2012 version says he's dry alright...
i'll have to wait & see, i guess
 
My D1 Waterproof just showed up at my doorstep moments ago. Tried it on and it looks and fits nicely. Will report back when I get it wet.
The removable internal mesh makes it trap insulating air for a more uniform thickness and likely requires less inflation air to keep yourself warm. Just by looking I can see how it works and I expect good things.

i am curious how your weighting changed with this suit vs a typical bag suit.
