A buddy of mine has a few OS suits... he foots in them and the quality seems pretty decent, but he cant get them to stop leaking? Im assuming that was due to a faulty repair job on the seals though. |

God Bless America, we are all free to believe what we want. I have a special drysuit just for you, nevermind those ankle weights they are for buoyancy control. Let me get that zipper for you, I believe it's closed jump right in!
Do you have an OS Drysuit or anything with value to share here? Stick to the topics you think you know something about. |

IMHO a drysuit that doesnt keep you dry does not "work". If my boats leaked like your suits do, Id need to invest in multiple bilge pumps! |

More of them work than less, unlike your boat situation. |

I've got one, it works fine, probably wouldn't hold up to footin' but OK for everything else. Seals are easy to relpace, I added boots to 2 suits this winter and replaced wrist seals on one and added dry gloves to another. There are videos on You Tube, just takes an afternoon.

I am the TRBenj of drysuits. I bought a few needing repair so I'll keep a few around for loaners and sell the ones I don't need.

I have an OS drysuit also. It is probably 15 years old but still working great.

Hollywood, how much does it cost to have the seals replaced if necessary?

Good point Kapla. I am planning on using it for a little bit of everything so I have decided I want a bag suit, so i was looking more for info on quality and such.

I like them, have 5 myself and my brother has 1 (all Breezes). Ankle guards are a plus for barefooting (Breeze-Bare).

Not an expert on the subject but for better help on choosing the correct suit you need to provide the intended use of it..ski, wake, or Barefoot, as some of the suits might be all around but some might not be.. Just my .02
