I've got a size Large OS drysuit "breeze bare" I purchased new through Ron Scarpa water sports probably 6 years ago. I have not worn it the past three.. The neck blew out first then after sitting 2 more years in wrists went, then finally the ankles I noticed over the weekend while doing some drysuit inventory. Full seal replacement is $175 installed from OS themselves. It would be as good as new after that, the rest of the suit is very nice. I am about to send in another suit to OS this week so some shipping would be minimal for the repair. You'd get to chose your own sizes too. $100 takes it or it'll go back into the closet, awaiting my fatter days! This thing fit me loose compared to older models. I'm 5-11 and 160# with a long torso and there was room to grow up as well as outwards. I'd say height would be 5-10 to 6-2 weight 175-200. Of course you could buy/try it as is and make sure it fits before further investment. I found a few skinnier suits that fit me better else I'd be keeping it. I'm the only one that has ever worn it, never been peed in.
Large from OS: Chest 42-44 Waist 34-38 Weight 165-200 Height 5.10-6.1 |

Did you pick up a transient floating in the lake? Somebody should give him a cheeseburger...

Dive Rite In scuba sells the seals and some iron on glue that makes it really easy to change those seals yourself. They even have YouTube videos to show you how. Even Quinner could do it.

They have a pretty quick turnaround too, if you want to drop your stuff off at their shop ... but it's a short drive for me. |

Well I layed it over another XL I have and it was about the same dimensions. I also had OS decode the serial number and to my not surprise it is an XL. Thanks a lot Ron... Manufactured in 2007. The nylon and zipper are good. I'll do $75. I have another XL rebranded as Intensity with wrist cuffs as well as the ankles. 1998 model year, nylon and zipper good but it also has no neck and everything else is pretty well dried out. $50. Extra Large from OS: Chest 46-48 Waist 38-42 Weight 200-230 Height 6.1-6.3 |

Since this was from RS, this is a footing suit yes? |

That is correct. However, I promised it to my Sanger buddy (for free) yesterday since I wasn't getting any takers. The Intensity is still available. It will foot too.

so the Intensity needs all new seals as well, yes? Same estimate for OS to repair that one ($175)? |
