Don't know about cheap, but Delia Ellard (Canyon Gear) will produce
made-to-measure dry kit at the same price or cheaper than many
off-the-peg. She's based in Rugby but does mail-order.

Best wishes

Yeah, wot Nick sed.

Seriously.

Andi (DAM watersports)'s kit is good quality and, bluntly, its cheap to
buy. Probably because he's one of the many 'semi-commercial' operators and
doesn't have to be so massively 'profit driven.

He's more into Sailing than Kayaking (tho he does both).

For bespoke kit I'd trust his judgement highly on sailing and his existing
designs (developed with kayakers) for kayaking ... tho he's pretty savvy
about paddling needs and what works/ what doesn't.

Try DAM Watersports. They make a range of paddling gear, cags,
trousers and full suits in breathable & non-breathable. I got a dry
cag last year, twin-seal waist, neck and wrists for about £100, made
to measure and its definitely the driest, most robust cag I've owned
(have tried Nookie & Palm Extreme cags before).

Yep

There are several good outfits, the one I'd recommend is Andi Riley at DAM
watersports.

Most folk locally use him cos his stuff's dead tough and isn't expensive.
It looks OK too but its not kind of 'high fashion' with lots of different
colour panels and stuff (s'pose he'd do that if you asked but it'd cost more
cos he' have to use more materials unless he could do it from off cuts).

He's going to love you posting his un-obfuscated email address on
usenet. 60 adverts for ummm "anatomy modification" per day? Plus some
pills for when that doesn't work?
