I must apologise for not replying sooner but we have been in the process of redesigning and testing fabric feet for our drysuits and was not able to give you up to date information until today. The cost of a Rapide drysuit is ?268.08 and relief zipper is ?38.30, with shipping _at_ ?29 giving you a total of ?335.38/$600 with ?1=$1.79. We have several foot options on our suits, you can have latex (rubber) socks (to give you covered feet) or ankle seals, which form a watertight seal just above your ankle bone and so allow you to have you feet out if you wish. If you go for either of these options you can swap and change between them during the life of the suit. Another option is the hard boota attached to the suit, these are neoprene lined boots that come up to just below calf height and are ideal if you are using your sut on a RIB or for offshore sailing. The last option, which until recently has only be available on suits we make for the rescue services of for commercial use are attached socks made of the same fabric as on the drysuit, the main advantage of these is that if you are wearing the suit for very long periods your feet are able to breathe...but of course only if you have breathable sailing boots as well! There is no cost for the latex socks or ankle seals,the hard boots add ?25.53/$45 to the cost of the suit and the fabric socks add ?21.27/$38 If any of the latex seals on the suit need replacing then we can send you the new seals pre-glued and with fitting instructions, and as they are all fixed with heat activated glues then all you need is a hair drier or heat gun... so new latex feet are easy to replace, with the fabric feet we send you some heat sealing repair tape with the drysuit and this can be used if you have a small hole or tear, but if you needed completely new feet then we would need the suit back. We are quoting 2-3 weeks delivery on suits at the moment, shipping to yourselves would be by Fedex and this takes 2-3 days. Sadly the dollar rate is not working with us at the moment but it is showing signs now of moving closer to sterling. I hope I have answered your questions without being confusing you more, please contact us if you have nay more questions. We hope to hear from you Kind regards, Ann Morley. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
