Hi All,

I’m looking for a cheap front entry drysuit for traveling. My current suit is a very heavy duty back zip suit and while it’s in decent shape, age is beginning to take its toll (coming up on 20 years). It’s also a massive hassle for traveling due to baggage weight restrictions and the heavy duty back zip means that donning/doffing is usually a 2 person job (even using a clip on the leash).

I’m looking for a relatively lightweight front entry suit for travel (to MX and FL primarily). I’m about 6’1” (184cm) and bounce between 175 and 185# (80 to 85kg). My feet are US 11/12 and wide.

I’m willing to replace seals / boots / patch small leaks / add a p valve if anyone has something lying around that they don't need and the price is right.

I’m going to be doing some longer training dives and I was at the limit of my cold endurance in a wetsuit last time I was down south so I’m hoping I can find something so I don’t have to either add even more wet layers or refurbish and pay the baggage costs to transport my old suit.

Thanks,

D.
