I need to get a drysuit due to recent medical complications. Ankle edema rules out ankle gaskets, so I need to go custom. I'm also over 200#, but only 5'7", so really need a custom drysuit. I really don't see anything out there other that 3-ply Gortex as worthwhile. I wish to have all the bells and whistles for extreme winter paddling, including hood, etc. The only product I can see out there is the Kokatat Expedition. Has anyone bought one. Is it much different than the Meridian series (other than some extra options as standard?). Has anyone ever ordered custom sizing from Kokatat (like shorter inseam, etc). Any recommendations on the sock option (Goretex vs. neoprene, etc). Some of my questions are old ground for PW, but I need an infusion of information. This drysuit runs $1600.00 in Canada.
