Drysuit purchase

Hi, sounds like a good suit.

With respect to neck and wrist seals I would go with neoprene rather than latex if you have the choice. They are not quite as delicate and will probably give you some warning if they are going to fail. Latex seals from what I've seen tend to go in a big way without any warning; watched one of my friends latex wrist seals come to bits on the boat on Sunday. Yards of duct tape and crossed fingers did not keep him dry on the following dive!

On the other hand my wife keeps forgetting to take her hair clips out before putting head through her neoprene neck seal; this has resulted in a few nicks and minor cuts to the seal but we've been able to fix these with a bit of black witch and the seal is still waterproof.

Just my 2p worth.
