prudenceb Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 I have TWO brand new custom top of the line replacement drysuits! My ”new" drysuit (which was itself a replacement suit!) delaminated after only two years, so I had to wear my eight year old backup suit for Iceland exped. I sent that one in when I got back and after the replacement suit had finally arrived…and, yup, it had bitten the dust, too. So my second new suit just arrived yesterday. Unlike Kate, who thinks she'll be set for life, I think I'm good for the next three years or so ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend this drysuit-saving strategy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbhazeltine Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I recently had a small self inflicted tear ~ 1 inch on my dry suit. I was thrown up against a barnacle covered rock. I sent it back for the leak test they offer - ~$45 and the patched it under that service. Area of patch was about 3 inches x 3 inches and hardly visible from the outside. Total cost to me including shipping was $53. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
