Hollis drysuits

[tazrox]

How does the WearForce material in the FX100 compare to trilam, neoprene and crushed neoprene in regard to insulation and buoyancy? I would guess it's more buoyant but offers more insulation than trilam but I haven't seen too many reviews on Hollis drysuits.

Anyone have actual experience with these suits? Also, is it just me, or would you immediately remove those gators as soon as you buy it?

Gaiters don't come off.

Gaiters don't come off.

Newer models of the Biodry do not have gaiters installed. However all older models with can remove the gaiters if needed.

Hope this helps.

Our PSD team bought one for each of us (9). Love them, however I don't have anything to compare it to, my first drysuit. I love the gaiters because the majority of the time we are on our knees/bellys in the mud in zero vis. Very comfortable and tough, quality product as are the Hollis BC's, regs, gloves, masks, etc We use.
