Review Seaskin Nova drysuit

[vioch]

I use simple one.
Similar were installed on my 2 another drysuits - never had a demand to use something different.
But had to trim a little my Ursuit hood from behind underneath - to fit Seaskin simple warm neck.

Thanks, I think I'll go with that one as well. Onur at Sealskin was leaning toward the simple one too in an email back from him.

The seaskin website says that the Simple is only for the Ultra Neoprene suit. Don't if that's an old description, since you say that an email reply from Seaskin is recommending the Simple.

Nope
"This is an option for a Nova drysuit."

Not trying to be argumentative, just repeating what I see when I read the description:

Dry Suit Option - Warm Neck Simple
As above but without the Hook and Loop adjustment. It is designed to sit flatter and not so far up the neck. Without the Hook and Loop it is less easy to catch the yoke of the hood underneath, however once the hood is inserted it does make head/neck movement easier as it is less bulky.
Only available with the latex neck (or Siflex neck system) option.

This is an option for an Ultra drysuit. Should only be ordered if a Ultra (compressed neoprene) type drysuit is also ordered

And this is the description on the Nova:

As above but without the hook and loop adjustment. It is designed to sit flatter and not so far up the neck. Without the hook and loop it is less easy to catch the yoke of the hood underneath, however once the hood is inserted it does make head/neck movement easier as it is less bulky.
Only available with the latex neck (or Siflex neck system) option.

This is an option for a Nova drysuit. Should only be ordered if a Nova (membrane) type drysuit is also ordered.


What they mean is that you have to order it with the suit. You can’t buy it and DYI.

Ok. I didn't interpret their description as a DIY vs only Seaskin installs on their suit. My bad.

Has anyone gotten the black and yellow one? Is it black body, yellow sleeves... Or black sleeves yellow body?

I tried emailing them to ask, but have yet to get a response

 

[JBFG]

Black body and yellow sleeve is what I’m tracking.
I’m also having difficulties with emails. I just call.

 

[eweingarden]

I have the black and yellow. It's a black body with yellow arms. I also had the zipper cover done in yellow.
