Default Drysuit Fabrics, Goretex vs Whatever

Per (PeteCresswell):
Finally, if somebody's trolling for dry suit info, I'd opine that if Kokatat is
calling out to them, they also need to check out www.ossystems.com -
particularly the "Spirit". The long zipper seems to eliminate the need for a
convenience zipper and it looks to me like they've got a friendlier sizing
system for us statistical outliers.


To that, I'd also add http://www.oceanrodeo.com/pro.php

They seem to be touting a "Suspension" system that I hope would keep the crotch
up where it belongs.

On my Kokatat, the drawstring system is pretty much hopeless and the crotch can
sag down 3-4" which can hamstring you if you get dumped in the water and the
legs cling.
