Rick crangle Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I am hoping there is a kind soul out there who is willing to lend me a drysuit for this week. I am going to 5* training in Scotland on Thursday, and my suit leaks. I am 5' 10" 160 and will take full responsibility for it’s well being.

Brian Nystrom Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 ...but I'm not sure if the wrist and neck seals will fit you (possibly too loose?). It seeps a bit of water here and there, but it's basically dry (no puddles in the feet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hazard Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 You are welcome to use my White's. I will NOT be taking it to the symposium. If it's THAT cold up there, the whole event is in trouble! :^DI'll throw it in my car so it'll be in Gloucester if you need it.Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djlewis Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I may be able to loan you mine. I want to take it to Bar Harbor this weekend just in case (despite Rob's optimism) -- water temps in the mid-50's and lots of dunking in store, I assume. But if you come up short, let's discuss it. It's a Kokatat large with shortened arms and legs. The gaskets are fairly new and heavy duty.--David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterB Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 You're welcome to mine; its a Kokatat GFER,XL, refief zip, gore tex booties, seals are good, though my neck is probbly bullier than yours and its out on Peaks Is.right now. If your travels involve some connection with MIKCO which would allow you to easily retrieve it, and it not too big for you, you're welcome to it.

jason Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Rick your welcome to mine, if you don't find one that is a better size. I am heading up to Cape Ann after work and I can bring it. I have trimmed the Neck so it might be big. I am heading to Canada Wed to pickup a new (to Me) boat, so Tuesday would be the day if you want my dry suit. -Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEL Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 > I will NOT be taking it >to the symposium. If it's THAT cold up there, the whole >event is in trouble! Huh?? Water temps all summer tend to be in the mid to upper 50s up there. Sept. is a wonderful time as the nights are cool (40s-50s, the days bracing (upper 60s), less fog, fewer people, rates lower.Ed Lawson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The consensus was that most interested paddlers either have or could borrow/rent a dry suit for the event ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerry s Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 RickYou're welcome to borrow my Ravenspring. Latex booties (large) so they need to be protected but it should fit you fine except for the feet. Gerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick crangle Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share Posted September 6, 2006 Thanks to everyone who offered their drysuits. I found one that fits, and was close. Who knew a Kokatat small would be just fine. Thanks again friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
