Well I went on a test dive with my new drysuit (very happy to be dry and warm here in the northeast). It's a TLS350 shell-type drysuit, so the outside is a slippery nylon. That causes a bit of a problem with my BC (seaquest pro qd). With a neoprene wetsuit, there was plenty of friction between the wetsuit and the nylon of the bc. However, with the nylon drysuit against the nylon bc, there isn't much mutual friction and I experienced annoying ride-up while at the surface. So I'm considering retro-fitting a crotch-strap to my BC.
Would anyone take exception to this, or offer a more useful suggestion? Am i alone in suffering this problem?
Thanks!
