Are you getting pockets and a P valve too????

Hello, No Not yet and Not yet.

Thanks for the inquiry. First let me add that I wimped out at the last possible moment and switched from a yellow top/black bottom to a dark grey top and black bottom.....I was too afraid that the yellow would look crappy when I got it dirty. Grey and black is going to look too cool.....

Let's see.....Got the suspenders....wanted the pockets, but had to pass....the suit and unders(both custom cut for my Buddah-esque figure cost an additional 20%) were a little more than I had expected. I have never seen anyone local with the pockets, so I decided that if I wanted them later, I could just order them myself from halcyon and stick 'em on.

As for the pee valve....It too can be added later. As soon as I start disappearing for a couple of hours at a time underwater i'll add it....Speaking of peeing...that's why I sprung for the front/diagonal zip so I could get to the equipment faster to relieve any pent up pee on my SI's.

I was really impressed with Andy's nylon selection. Their "lightweight" nylon outer covering is super tough. thier "standard" nylon is like ballistic cordura. The suit is going to be one tough mother. AAAANNNNDDDDd......they claim only 2-3 week delivery time on the custom cut suit.

1. Cool... I'm so glad you didn't do the yellow.... it attracts shark attacks you know

2. Ummmm.... the diagonal zip ends at the hip.... so unless your anatomy is seriously abnormal....

That I drive a big truck to compensate for all of my other shortcomings.

Even if it only goes to the waist. Picture a short fat bald guy trying to strip out of a 7mm Two picec farmer john inside a Michigan State Park Mark 1, Mod Zero brown pit toilet. (You ever notice how ALL of those things have a faint smell of cedar?)

Getting it off (the wetsuit)was bad enough....getting it back on....ergo DRY SUIT!!!!!

WIND OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
