I've got an O'Three MSF500 drysuit for sale. It's five years old and has about 60 dives on it. It's been my "spare" drysuit for the last couple of years but it does get used occasionally (last time about six weeks ago) and doesn't leak. Zipper and neoprene neck seal are in excellent condition. Neoprene wrist seals got some minor repairs a while back and are in good condition. There's a gouge below the calf on the right leg - it didn't cause a leak in the suit but I went a little crazy with the Aquaseal and a neoprene patch just in case. Bellows-type pocket on the right and a knife pocket on the left. Attached boots.

The size is listed as a 16 but that sounds much bigger than it is! I'm 5'8", 140 lbs, waist 30", hips 42", bust 36" and inseam about 31". I've got small wrists and neck but I don't know what those measurements are. I wear a single set of Fourth Element Xerotherms under this suit and find it just a bit snug around the hips and buttocks - middle-aged spread has set in, which is why I'm selling this suit. Boot size is a women's 9.

Comes with a bag, changing mat and hood. Manufacturer info for the suit can be found at O'Three - MSF 500 technical black flex. O'Three makes good quality suits - the one I use now is a custom Ri200 with over 300 dives on it - I had to replace the neck seal at about 275 dives but that's the only repair it's needed so far. This is a nice suit for someone who wants to make sure they stay warm!

Asking $500 plus shipping.
 
this suit sounds like it may work for my wife but seems slightly large. it looks like it has 2 thigh pockets. are they just glued on, factory installed, or factory stitched, taped and glued?
thank you
 
The left pocket is a bellows pocket with a narrow slot for a slate plus a larger cargo area for spools, smbs, etc. The right pocket is a dedicated knife pocket - slip your hard sheath into the neoprene pocket and secure at the top - pretty handy if your knife is the right size! Both pockets are factory standard/factory installed - they appear to be glued and stitched. I can send you some add'l photos if you like - just PM if so - J
