Review Seaskin Nova drysuit

[Addison Snyder]

It's wild how we all quote different prices..

Seaskin cranked up prices ~20% across the board about a year ago. Totally justified from their angle, but something to keep in mind when seeing differences in peoples' remembered prices.

I don’t think it was that long ago, I bought my 3rd one in September and the base price was the same as 8 years ago, when I looked a few days ago it looked like a 10% or so increase. They could double the price and it would still be the best deal out there.

Looking at the "waybackmachine" the base price was still 599 Euro on July 2nd of this year. I can't find what my base price was, but I'm almost 100% sure it was 599 when I ordered in Sep.

The base price was 549 in July of 2021 and the machine doesn't have anymore snapshots that I can find farther back.

So up 15% since July of 2021, which is understandable. I'm really surprised not more... everything else has doubled.

My base suit price was UKP 457.5 ex VAT, ordered on Nov 18th last year.
Seaskin site is showing 536.6 ex VAT, so increase is 15% for base suit.

Your invoice should have base suit price as separate item

It does not. The price for the suit is listed as 946 or something like that.

The other main problem right now is that the dollar has tanked 12% vs the Euro in the last month.

Wow.. haven't even been following it. Jeez, I'd have had to spend another $300 usd if bought today.

Will do.
Seems like a nice suit. My biggest concern is my Wife having to take my measurements and if the suit shows up and doesn't fit right.
