Hi,
I'm looking to sell my drysuit as I just don't use it enough to make it worth holding onto. Extend your dive season now that the weather is turning cold. It's a Moby's Bilam Shellsuit, size L with size 10.5 attached boots. I'm 6' 150lbs, 30" waist, and it fits me pretty well. I think the ideal size would probably be like 5' 11" 165lbs, so slightly shorter and bigger than me, but I think it could work all the way down to 5' 9" or so and up to 6' 1" probably. I replaced all of the latex seals in the spring (2 wrist, 1 neck), and they are uncut. The zipper is in great condition. It has been used 5 times since the seals were replaced (4 fresh, 1 salt) so they are just about brand new. It was pressure tested at the end of the summer, so it is all set with no leaks. It has zipper pockets, and I installed bungee loops in them for clipping off gear. It also has built in suspenders.

It has been well cared for: talced seals, zipper waxed, stored inside in a climate controlled room, etc.

I am looking for $375, which will get me a little less than the combined costs of what I paid for it together with the cost of seal replacements and the pressure test that I put into it, reflecting that I've used it about 10 times since purchase. I'm not desperate to sell, I just think someone else can get better use of it than me, as like I said, I've rarely been using it and anticipate less use in the future.

If you want to purchase a size M 4th element Xerotherm Arctic Top, I can throw it in with the suit for $425 total, so you can get the xerotherm at a substantial discount off of the new price of $150. It's been used about 6 times, so it's in basically new condition. This is substantially cheaper than I've seen the top going for used on the boards based on a quick search, so I think it's a good price to sweeten the deal.

I can also throw in an inflator hose, and a bag of talc. I also have a heavy-duty plastic zipper bag that I have used for transporting and storing it, which I'll include. Also, if you want it, I made a homemade dry glove system out of pvc pipe and orange smurf gloves... I never tried it in the water, but it worked in the sink, so I can add that if you want to mess with it.
