Default when wearing a Drysuit for long periods of time...

Per Bill Tuthill:
But I still recommend Kokatat due to their excellent repair service.


A lot of people do - and I might too.

But, based on experience, I wouldn't recommend them for their
after-market alteration service.

On my custom suit, they got the belt tunnel way too high - so the
crotch is halfway to my knees when it's cinched. This becomes a
problem when you get dumped. The legs vacuum bag to your bod
and, if the crotch is too low at that moment you cannot drop into
a squatting position. You have to lay back in the water to get a
little air in there and wiggle around until you can get the
crotch back up where it belongs. It's also a problem when
windsurfing/water starting.

I was perfectly willing to pay to have it lowered, but they
didn't want any part of it.
