Thumbs up Hammond Drysuits - A big thank you !
After seeing some of the negative posts about supliers etc on here & other forums I thought I would say thanks to everybody who recommended Hammond Drysuits near Dartford .I can only say what good old fashioned family service I got from them .I turned up at their door last tuesday for a change of neckseal from latex with a neck warmer to a neoprene one ,decided to have an extra pocket fitted & a knife pocket as well .On thursday I recieved a phone call from Chris tellling me that it would be ready to collect on the Friday morning ,as it was my wife collected it today & what a nice job they did no excess glue anywhere ,no loose ends .In all a superb job with no fuss , good honest advice & all with a smile !

A BIG THANKS

Thumbs up
Remembering all the jobs they did on mine, my bag is more Hammond than ND. It makes me wish I still lived over there. Almost worth moving back for!!

Regards
Midnight

Funnily enough, I have one of those 'more hammond than ND' suits. I have to say Hammond are absolutely brilliant. I would recomend them to anyone.

Well, I knew they made organs but drysuits?

Colin, I'll be very interested to hear your opinions on the performance/comfort etc of the neoprene neck seal.

Of course, I won't believe you as YBODers are not to be trusted ....... bloody cheats staying down for hours on a thimble full of gas ........ probably made some pact with devil and the "scrubber unit" is actually the home of some arcane demon that farts air as a result of being scared at being underwater ....... I'm sure there will be a penalty to pay in the after life!

finless, I changed from latex+overcollar to neoprene+existing overcollar.

The neo is more comfortable, doesn't leave marks, and provided you pull it well up the neck, turn over only the top 3cm-ish and use K-Y to settle it smoothly on the neck doesn't leak at all. I wouldn't use any other type now. Needless to say, I got the new seal from Hammond, and it was perfectly done.

Cheers
