Who got a drysuit?

[Gidds]

if I'm grumpy it's because I can't get in the water even with my drysuit :28: and what do you mean you aren't going to mention it? You're the one who brought it up! *goes looking for clam rake*

Tryin' and most likely buyin' a Bare D6 within the next two weeks. Any comments or suggestions PLEASE speak now or forever hold your peas (I will no longer have to hold MY peas, as I will be getting a p-valve installed ASAP!)...

So sick of being cold!

2 drysuits (viking and whites) .. my wife said I can buy a third (a self-don) when I have a job !!!

2 sets thermals (DUI thinsulate and Abyss fleece)

2 wetsuits (7mm ONeill one-piece and 5mm Scubapro Steamer)

2 hooded vests (for use with the wetsuits)

Just ordered 2 Bare drysuits yesterday !!! Yipeee. First dry suits for my wife and I. We originally ordered 2 D6 Pros, but bare has dq'd the D6 for women and all they left in stock were L and XL. Sigh...

Based on that, my wife got to upgrade to a CD4. She will be real happy with the CD4 and I hope I will be happy with the D6. Still....she is getting a better suit than me....

We still havent gotten gloves...any suggestions ? Also may have to get new fins if ours don't fit. Hope they do, this is getting expensive.

I'm wearing Aquaflex Genesis fins with my Bare rock boots, I also wear them with my Henderson hard soled wetsuit boots

While we're on the topic of dry suits, is there a "best" brand? I know Bare, DUI, and Whites are pretty popular. What types do members have and what are the benefits/drawbacks to your brand/model. I'd like to get one in the future, Indiana doesn't have the longest dive season around!!

Bill i got a pair of new OMS dry fins (which i love) for less than $100 as well as a pair of OMS gloves for dry suit, this gloves you can wear over the seals, made of neoprene, you can put some hot water before your dive and they will keep your hands warm, i like this kind better than the normal dry gloves, specially if catching bugs, since this gloves do not need the rings i can stick my hand deeper in the lobster holes.
