Seaskin drysuit reinforcement for Tec

[johnydive]

I’m building my seaskin now, I was wondering is it worth taking all the reinforcements available?
Knee
Bum pad
Elbow pad
Crutch reinforcements
Back pad
Shoulder reinforcements

Which one should I take? In diving with an halcyon harness.

In my opinion, no but on the other hand they are cheap.

I ordered the knee pads but skipped all the other add-ons. They're not really necessary unless you regularly encounter harsh conditions.

I ordered mine without any pads. The exterior of the suit is very sturdy. I'd say save your money...

 

[Boarderguy]

Knees, back and shoulder. Heard on here that the crotch reinforcement can cause issues with leaking.

 

[JohnN]

Shoulder only. I did add the holder for a P-valve ( just in case I add one later)

I got everything because it was cheap. No regerts

Not sure if it's needed, but I am really rough on my suit. It was a little stiff in the beginning, but now feels great.

Glad I have them for wrecks and the odd chance I get into a knife fight underwater!
