"(PeteCresswell)" wrote in message ... Per Micheal Artindale: I have seen a one piece for around $800. I can get a 2 piece for about $400. Suggestions? What's the 2-piece? Farmer john bottom, dry top with a rollover gasket at the waist? Or something else? -- PeteCresswell http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_d...45524442503911 is simmular to the dry tops i am looking at. The dry bottom is not the farmer john type, it is like a pair of trousers. Gaskets are at the waist, neck, wrist and ankle openings. I think I have seen a pair of bottoms that had attatched socks. Micheal One of the big advantages of 1-piece dry suits is the elimination of multiple waistbands that can feel like they're cutting you in half. Additionally, you don't have to spend a lot of time mating the waist seals and such as you do with a 2-piece setup. The dry bottoms that I've seen have all been made of non-breathable fabrics and none of them had attached waterproof socks. Both of these things, along with a relief zipper, are important requirements for a dry suit system, IMO. |
