Review Seaskin Nova drysuit

[MaxAir]

All of the seam tape on the inside are tacky and will cause the suit to feel undersized as seams rub and catch against your underlayment.

ETA: here's the video from Seaskin.

Ok, I completely missed that step... chalking the entire inside of the suit. Thanks for the tip.

Not a great option if concerned about potential health complications (go read up on talc/talcum/french chalk) even if you find some unscented product without asbestos in it. Guess I'll do this procedure in the garage and with a filter mask on.

You are not shooting it with a presure cannon and you are not using shovel worth of stuff.

Double check the measurements you gave them vs your foot.

The only foot measurements you give are length and shoe size. The length is fine there is just so much extra material on top of the foot.

It may work best if you use bungee for shoe laces or you may need bigger boots you just can’t know for sure until you try. I wear 15’s and my drysuit boots are 15, I can give you a pair of my old boots if you cover shipping cost.

Sourced from DGX (Dive Gear Express). Note, the Rolock 90 kit I received was missing the black glove rings (used for non-removable liner gloves). Luckily the gloves I am using are Showa 720 and so use the provided blue ring/o-ring combo. DGX responded that I would be sent a pair of black rings from the mfr... when... TBA. For the > $200 shipped cost, I want the complete kit for my money.

In the below link from another source they say the black ring is no longer part of the kit.

NB: the black rings in the photo are no longer in the, the blue rings are used for this.

I don't dive cold water, mostly east/west coasts of Florida, so I didn't get any warm neck options.

I got the simple warm neck option. I think it looks a lot better than the exposed Quick Neck Ring. I have seen them without but it just looks "unfinished".

The black rings are for use when installing gloves that have liner backing vs the blue rings (with o-ring) are used for unlined gloves. I believe the PU-Rings they say are not included, are those rings which are glued into the suit sleeves. PU-Rings have never been included.

They are saying they no longer include the black rings and the kit only comes with the blue rings.

Here is a good video that shows everything. Note; there are no black rings:

Just got a Rolock 90 kit from DrysuitSpareParts.com and it included the black rings.

Interesting. I get mine tomorrow but purchased from DGX so I doubt the black rings will be included. I will report what is actually included.
