Seaskin Nova

I received mine this week. I ordered in mid-February and the dispatch date was only one business day late. I live in the USA and paid $130 duty with UPS with a 3-day delivery. I dove it today for the first time and I love this suit. It’s my first drysuit, so I can’t compare it to a competitor, but the fit is perfect and it feels great. The quality of its manufacturing is 10 out of 10. I’m extremely pleased.

$50? Man.... I had to drop $120 with UPS to pick mine up today

Typical soup to nuts (order to delivery) seems to be ~3 months.

US duty & customs is only 4% on drysuit. If you bundle other clothing items such as thermals, you'll get dinged 24-28% on those.

The "DIR Position" exhaust valve location is great. When I had to go back and dive in generic Bare suits, it was eye opening how ridiculously vertical I needed to be and the contortions needed to vent every last bubble from the inside/forward shoulder area.

I did not get the DIR position and just slightly roll my shoulder up with the valve fully open. Never had to get vertical, if anything I'm still horizontal when I break the surface.

I'd give it a shot maybe on my next suit, but I'm fine with what I have too... maybe I don't know what I don't know
