Made to measure drysuites?
 

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

Try http://www.rubberman.co.uk/ not sure how expensive they are when making
one from scratch - but I got a good price when I needed mine fixing.

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).

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.

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.

Kogg make excellent bombproof drysuits to measure (ideal for sailing if you
are clumsy like me and keep bashing yourself on cleats etc) - but they
aren't particularly cheap.
