Ok, I gave my Drysuit a test drive Friday. Overall it worked out great. I was diving in 63 degree water for a little over 30 minutes and the only thermal discomfort was my hands. ( No gloves). Yeah I know you PNW, Canucks Great Lake folk and Brits probably consider that warm water, but here in Texass that's pretty cold.
What I did dislike is that the leg seals leaked. When I inflated the suit, I could feel bubbles escaping. Is there a way of stopping the leaks? Remember we're talking neoprene, not latex seals.
The suit is an Ebay special (change back from a $50 including shipping) so I'm happy with the results. I was just looking for suggestions from those of you more familiar with drysuits. My thoughts are edging toward using rubber bands at the ankles.
Thanks,
