Review Seaskin Nova drysuit

[davecampbell]

dove our Novas on NYE here in Ontario. Wore the 250s, with the base layer, and a thin additional merino midlayer top. 52 minutes @ 38ffw. 39°F. Surface air temps around 30-32°F.
hands and toes were getting chilly by the end, but wasn't extremely uncomfortable. That's about as cold as we dive here....so the 250s work well enough for me.

If you're diving in 2 to 7 degrees Celsius water, you'll need thick glove liners. Thicker than what you get with the kubis. I'd get the XXL and worst comes to worst you buy new gloves for 5 bucks a pair. The only important thing with kubis is you need to make sure the rings are the correct size.

Oh and just to follow this up. On my dive yesterday I wore showa 720s with the wool liners. Left hand was an XL, right hand was an L. Even before splashing the left felt more comfortable. The right was too tight. Underwater the left hand was noticeably warmer than the right, presumably because of improved airflow.

I should mention I ordered my kubis with L gloves. The supplied glove liners with the size L dishwashing gloves fit me perfectly and I'd dive that combination in around 16 degrees Celsius and up. Anything below that I'd want the thicker liners and also thicker smurf gloves. The good thing with dry gloves is that you can test things out for not much money.

So buy a suit that wasn't made for me for the same cost as one that would be made for me... sounds legit!

Looking at the options on it, it would be closer to $1200 new and custom from SeaSkin.

But, if you're the same size as the seller, you can have it today....
