Used drysuit rant

[Kharon]

Quit being a wuss. I dive Lake George April through November. Thermocline temps are usually in the low 50°F range. I wear a 3mm wetsuit with a 3mm vest.

ROFL!!!! Heck, I shiver in an 80 degree pool with a 3mm suit on, literally to the point of teeth chattering. I had a very hard time teaching in colder pools for long periods of time because I'd get hypothermic. So yea, things are very different when you don't have any body fat. Thats what happens when you train a lot... I also race motocross, which forces me to keep ultra fit and slim.

Buy a girl's medium and change out the boots.

Try diveseekers.com I'm 66" and 140#, use a standard mens medium, and haven't really found a huge problem finding a suit. Maybe I'm not as particular. The problem I find is finding one with proper sized boots. I just wear extra socks and live with it. It also helps if you are competent (or can become competent) at seal replacement and minor repairs. Good luck.

At least you have some sort of a chance of finding something.... I'm 6'-7", very wide at the shoulders, and lean (>10" between chest & waist). Sleeves are 38" long, and inseam is 36". Every wet suit and dry suit I've owned is a brand new custom...... to do my open water certification dives i bought a custom. Guess I had a reason to keep diving.....

How does it feel after the third dive of the day?

Or, 5'1". 135 lbs with wide shoulders and for a girl. I had to get a custom drysuit and undergarment.
