Materials on DIY drysuits

[Sbiriguda]

I am curious about the design of drysuits
Did someone try to make his/her own drysuit?
Is there any reliable source you can link about this?
Thanks

Most drysuits started as copies from known brands like DUI , then analysing theirs failures ( crotch sewing , arm valve position , arms position (forward instead - classic down - santi ) , material elasticity and breathing properties , then well known problems with glue type and prepairing material surface for glue (ursuit ) ..... a tons of problems to solve in real life.

As you are from Italy search for AQUA3 in Trieste ( they make wetsuits , buoyncy compesators , drysuits and some killing rebreathers )

Thank you. What do you mean with killing rebreathers?
By the way, nice link in your signature, like you say it's probably the best page about diving lights I have ever seen

I was a few times with friends on visit that factory in some very old building to buy some neoprene and drysuit stuff without tax ;-)

They also made made Voyager rebreathers

ah now I see not AQUA3 but AQUA - TEK S.l.r. , after accidents they change name and move around

Aquatek
