Review Seaskin Nova drysuit

[rob.mwpropane]

My Nova undergarment is having zipper problems after 8 dives or so. The drysuit itself is fine. I find it a little challenging to frog kick in for some reason. My hips are not exactly flexible, meaning any constriction makes frog kick motion more difficult. That is the only thing so far. Mine is blue. I wonder how long before it starts to fade.

When you get in are you adding air at the surface and stretching out? If I don't the suit is restrictive and uncomfortable throughout a dive. When I do stretch out and get myself all through the suit it feels like I'm diving in a et of pajamas under water, very comfortable.

You could have bought local to support local economy and you wouldn't have had to worry about sending it across the ocean and pay for the expenses and down time. BUT hey, you got a deal and bought a cheap suit.

Cheap and inexpensive are not the same. I am cheap, the suit was inexpensive.

It is a great suit.

Sorry to hear you're having issues. I have my gripes with Seaskin, mostly that their sales team won't answer an email and they had an unworking email listed ont heir website for a long time but they do always pick up the phone.

I can only talk to my experience but I put over 100 hours on my SeaSkin suit in October including through some very rough terrain in shallow fast moving rivers up against rocks and bushwacking in the dark through heavy brush to remote sites and my suit has been awesome, no leaks. I used it for 6-8 hours a day in 50F water for 18 days with one rest day.
