I bought my first drysuit in 1993 and have never regretted the purchase. Seriously consider getting the relief zipper in the model you purchase. In addition I would recommend having Kokatat add latex socks that are glued into the suit for tall paddlers. I am six foot three inches tall and I did not enjoy pulling the latex ankle gasket over my heels when I was done paddling. Be sure to get the extra air out of the suit in case of a capsize, if you don't you will not roll under your boat because of all of the extra buoyancy from the air inside of the suit. I have also worn some holes through the suit but that is due to extreme use. Good Paddling, Don Dimond ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************
