Like the title says, i'm looking for something used, fairly well cared for, and functional for my first foray into being dry. A used P-Valve is fine, I know how to apply bleach ;)

i have a black with blue top andy's. it is 'new old stock' - andy's went out of business, so no support from the company. turbosoles, no pee valve (but easy enough to install), front 'u' zipper, so self-donning. never been used.

i'll sell it for $300. i'll accept it returned and refund your total price if it doesn't fit, but i think it should.
 
If that doesn't work out for you a buddy of mine has a Diving Concepts suit for sale around that same price.

I think that sounds "wicked good" as they'd say in Maine..

I'll PM you and if that doesn't work out, I'll try the other ;)

I have a Viking Rubber drysuit. Size 3 with all accessories. The hood seal ripped and needs to be replaced, but the cuffs and neck seal are in good shape. Take a look at my ad if you are interested.
 
I have a White's PolarFlex drysuit that would fit you perfectly - as I was 5'8 and 180-185 lbs when I bought it. Great suit, comes with suspenders, pee-valve, vulcanized attached boots, and 2 pockets. I'll send it in the bag it came in.

See this page for suit details....

Suit is almost 2 years old, with about 20 - 30 fresh water dives on it. It is in excellent condition (seals were never cut). It is all black. I just had it pressure checked for leaks at the authorized White's repair shop (I had someone else interested, and I wanted to make sure it wouldn't leak - not that I ever had any problems, but I'd hate to sell something and someone have a problem).

Retail cost is around $2400 CAD for the suit...I'd like $700 USD (plus shipping)

Reason for selling...I am now about 150 lbs, and the suit is too darned big for me. I was keeping just in case the weight came back, but it seems that I will be at this new size for sometime.

Let me know if you're interested.

Cheers!
 
Update: I went down to the LDS and tried on a TLS350 and it seemed like it just fit in a stock medium. A tiny bit more room would have been nice, especially if I went with heavy thermals, but I think I could swing it. I still have not closed a deal with anyone for a DS.

I have a Diving Concepts Z Flex stock large size that might fit you. It was my husband's and it's a bit too small for him at 6'-1" and 200 pounds. You are welcome to try it on and see if it will work for you (I see you're local). It has new neck and wrist seals (one ring cut from each, I believe) and has neo socks installed by Steve Gamble, rather than the rubber boots it came with.

Let me know if you're interested in checking it out. Would be available this weekend if you wanted to try it on. Shoot me a PM.
