Baller 6balls Posted April 13, 2015 Baller Share Posted April 13, 2015 About to unbox one of these...hoping to ski tomorrow: http://stores.wetsuit.com/mens-5-3-inversion-drysuit-jet-black-h26/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted April 14, 2015 Author Baller Share Posted April 14, 2015 Hmm...not gonna ski it...gonna send it back. Very robust and thick, not that easy on/off, very form fitting, too constricting for me once on...prefer my Oneill Boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ The_MS Posted April 14, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted April 14, 2015 That is depressing. Not sure what I am going to do when my Throttle retires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Razorskier1 Posted April 14, 2015 Baller Share Posted April 14, 2015 @MS. I suggest that when your dry suit is done we move somewhere we don't need them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrB Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Than_Bogan I just had www.diverightinscuba.com replace my neck seal on my Sahara. I also bought some drysuit glue and finishing tape to make a few other repairs. I did this over the winter so I can use this spring. It took 2 weeks from the day I shipped until I received repaired suit. Looks like new. Total repair with supplies and shipping was $140. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ Wish Posted April 14, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted April 14, 2015 Point made. A Camaro wet suit is good...own one and LOVE IT!!...but it's not that good to take on those kind of conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted April 14, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted April 14, 2015 Hmmm... Maybe they do make a drysuit. http://www.surfandsnow.it/vendita-snowboard-freeski-surf-kitesurf/water-wear-men-winter-wetsuits-c1256/camaro-stormtec-superelastic-drysuit-p5005/eng/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ The_MS Posted April 14, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted April 14, 2015 There is s difference between a warm wet suit and needing a dry suit. Anyone that wants to test out the warmth of a wet suit, stop by my place in Late Oct or March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted April 14, 2015 Supporting Member Share Posted April 14, 2015 @Wish Nice find! Anybody try the Camaro Stormtec? It kinda looks like the style I like, but there's not much you can tell from the looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ The_MS Posted April 14, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted April 14, 2015 We need a review. @waterskigirl Have you sold any of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted April 14, 2015 Author Baller Share Posted April 14, 2015 100% waterproof, 3 year free service. Hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted April 14, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted April 14, 2015 If it is at all as stretchy as the suits you read about here then it is a winner. 4mm wont really be that big a deal. If my 2mm was a 4mm it would half as flexible soooo....more like a second skin then my own skin as I do not even feel like I'm wearing a wet suit. @MattP you may want to document the date on that "being right" thing ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller rockdog Posted April 14, 2015 Baller Share Posted April 14, 2015 Rip Curl nailed good wetsuits 1000 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller waterskigirl Posted April 15, 2015 Baller Share Posted April 15, 2015 Actually have Camaro sending me samples of several heavier suits for those in climates that need more than the 2mm. Should have them in a few weeks, so I will have them in stock for fall if any seem right for waterskiing...stay tuned, thanks for asking...@ ms same brains!

Baller xrated Posted April 15, 2015 Baller Share Posted April 15, 2015 What do windsurfers wear? I know one of my buds who is big into windsurfing and kiting wears a dry suit for early and late season on Lake Pepin and even on Superior but danged if I know what brand.

Baller 9400 Posted April 15, 2015 Baller Share Posted April 15, 2015 My current drysuit is an Oneil (assault I think)...it's ok. The best Drysuit I ever owned was a Bare Ultradry that lasted me about 12 years with very little care other than replaced cuffs once and patched a few times. You kind of have to figure Canadians would make a pretty good drysuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted April 15, 2015 Author Baller Share Posted April 15, 2015 @xrated the inversion suit that is the title of this thread is a windsurfing/kiting drysuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted April 15, 2015 Supporting Member Share Posted April 15, 2015 @waterskigirl If you need a guinea pig, I might be a candidate this fall. I'm fairly unhappy with the baggy suits, but there just doesn't seem to be a good alternative right now. And I (historically anyhow) spend a LOT of time in a drysuit, so I really need one I love!

Baller_ MISkier Posted April 17, 2015 Baller_ Share Posted April 17, 2015 Even if I moved south, I would always have a drysuit. Always. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
