Cheap NEW drysuits
No, I'm not selling any more Ravensprings...
I finally found one that'll fit me off the peg and it's only £139 new!

I spent last saturday trying on wetsuits . I asked for a xxl with the legs cut off half way and the middle formed over a wok .
They had turned a fan heater on in the changing room , incase i got cold 
I tried on 4 suits and had to go outside for 10 mins between each one .

Have you bought yours yet?
I have one of the previous model of this and it has a tendency to let water in. It doesn't leak in a particular place, there seems to be a kind of osmosis taking place through the fabric. 
Hopefully the problem is sorted now.

Hammond everytime for me.
Whilst they may not be cheap they are made to measure ideal for the odd shaped person like my good self and very comfy, very dry and lots of options available
All the best

It's arrived and it fits!
It'd probably fit someone taller and a bit wider than me too... I'm quite impressed.

Neither-the ankle seals on it are comfortable enough.

Matt,
I ask this because a friend has a drysuit like that. How you going to wet launch in the winter. Have a spare pair of boots ? Thats the way he does it. I would have thought with your skills you could glue those drysuit boots of yours in to the suit.

I'll just put the waders over the top to launch.
I could add the boots to it if I really wanted to but the ankle seals are quite heavy duty and won't wear out with me walking around.

I was just thinking of the ease of use factor.
Oh and look after the waders my last set lasted two go's. I now mollycoddle my present set by hanging them up when not in use. And the receipt is in a locked safe.
Hope I'm not teaching you to suck eggs. But I was most disapointed at the use I got out of my last set of waders.

LOL no, I normally just got wet or pulled an old navy survival suit on over the top of everything to keep dry while launching.

Matt,
Let us know how it performs from a watertight point of view (someone here questioned quality).
Thinking about occasional passengers on the Rib

It's not actually as bright as that-the flash made it look rather OTT.
Not sure the eggs and beans were a good idea
