I would very much like to wear hydroskins, but the simple fact is that the biggest size NRS sells is way to small for me, and, I suspect, for her. The only thing available for me in commercial wet suits is the NRS Grizzley, which is really too heavy for anything but the times when its really needed. Besides, the one I have doesn't fit well. Too small. Custom wet suit time. Dry suits? Forget it. Not available for people my size. I suppose I could get a custom job made for a cost in excess of a thousand dollars, but it's easier to just not go kayaking when I need that much protection. >> If you need custom stuff Rapidstyle will do it and do it well for about an extra $100. She does fuzzy rubber, not drysuits. See http://www.rapidstyle.com/ I'll testify to how good her stuff it. She is a local to DC but can use measurements you send.
