Review Seaskin Nova drysuit

[waterone]

It isn't my job to do the shopping for you, you have the internet wide open for you in US, let your fingers do the typing.

I have looked, or as you say done my homework and I could not find anything that was remotely comparable.

You can also find every excuse to buy foreign made products and rationalize it as you wish still, it is a free country but don't complain about jobs, falling infrastructure and other economics based issues back home. Heck, let China and other mortal enemies grow their economies to dominate the market while you are enjoying your foreign made drysuits, I am sure that you will have great time doing it..

While it is expected for another person to have opinions and viewpoints that they enjoy chatting about, I wasn't inquiring about any of that. I am a simply looking for a good and comparable deal, can you help me out?

If you can't find it you don't need it

If you haven't yet, definitely contact Seaskin.
I got call yesterday that my suit is shipped and I asked if I need to order tool separately.
Answer is no, tool comes in a kit for quick neck. Seaskin did not have some stuff in stock, so they decided to ship suits with non-essentials missing and ship those when available.

I've spoken with seaskin,
they will send the tool.

I am a US citizen living in Libya. Libya doesn't make any dive equipment or anything related to technology. The only thing they make is oil and some foodstuff which I buy plenty of. I am an advocate for US based businesses in technology. I even bring in agricultural products from the US when needed including seeds that aren't available here. I talk the talk and certainly walk the walk as much as humanly possible.

Does this answer your question?

Maybe if the US prices on a drysuits were anywhere close to sane they would get all this business.... but they're not.

Even with the $400 added it’s cheaper than any US made suit

I appreciate your posts and your version of what you believe is patriotism as it's your right to spend your money however you see fit. I buy local produce and meats ... so there's that.

We'll just have to agree to disagree on drysuits. There is a HUGE difference between a company making a profit and "highway robbery". A $2000 difference in price for a basic b!tch off the rack drysuit vs a custom made drysuit WITH UNDERGARMENTS from overseas is highway robbery.

No offense, but I'm not looking to be robbed anytime soon.

You could still buy 2, lol

So ALL other companies in the US, UK, Italy and Canada are committing highway robbery?

Just FYI, Seaskin is virtually unknown in the UK when O3 is a virtually household name and its prices are almost double the cost of Seaskin.

Yes.

popularity is not a reliable indicator of quality.
