Try posting this is uk.rec.scuba - some drysuit manufacturers make dry
suits for diving as well and maybe the otherway round..

Plus diving wet suits have a neat little waterproof zip so you can pee
without taking it off (if you are male and have the normal
arrangements!) - great idea for sailing.

Hi

Can anyone recommend a cheap place to get made to measure drysuites suitable
for kayaking and sailing?

I used to know a place in south Wales but cant remember the exact
location....

Thanks
Dave

I wouldn't recommend a diving drysuit, they are over engineered for
sailing. Surface watersports drysuits are more flexible and don't
have valves to get in the way. If you have a diving drysuit you can
use it for sailing but if you are buying get a surface watersports
suit.

You can get surface drysuits with a relief zip. www.Ravenspring.co.uk
have a zip as an optional extra and will custom fit at no extra charge
if you are not a standard size.

I would also recommend getting a breathable suit, a non breathable
gets clammy very quickly. They cost a little more but in my opinion
they are worth it.
