Alright, I give.  I'm going to buy a drysuit.  Anyone have suggestions on a good reliable suit that's reasonably priced?  Like the Toyota Camry of  drysuits.

Thanks,

Dave

Be careful. At one time the Toyota Camry was the most stolen vehicle.  :smt002

The two most versatile and durable suits I sell for fishing would be the Super Nova Angler Suit, and the Stohlquist B-Pod. Both have neo neck gaskets which are a lot more comfortable than the latex and work great even when your in the water. The kokatat has a more relaxed fit, while the stohlquist tends to be a more form fitted suit. The Kokatat has a heavy duty Cordura lap so you can work and land fish without worrying as much about snagging a hook or wearing it out over time. Stohlquist has lifetime warranty and I believe Kokatat is now offering that as well on their T-3 suits as of this year. There are a lot of suits out there but in my experience you can't go wrong with those two brands.

But those 2 suits are like "Lexus" not "Camry"  :smt003

As one pondering switching over to the drysuit option I've found that you want to go full on "Lexus".   Either cars options will cost you but going Lexus will eliminate the regrets of not getting what you really wanted (durability, flexibility and warranty). 

For me, I can't quite afford the Drysuit option yet so I'm going Paddle Pants.  My wetsuit is good but looking to upgrade to something a bit more comfortable for longer periods of OTW time.  As weather & conditions permit of course.
