I bought one at the aoty event and have no complaints.
The first time I used it was at Aaron's rigging/surf class through MBK
I didn't have all the zippers and ankle straps properly secured so I had a leaking issue during the self and assisted rescue portions of the class. :smt013 After lunch I discovered my errors and closed it up properly.
I took several dunkings during the afternoon (surf entry and exit) session of the class and did not experience any leakage. Granted I was wet from the earlier mistake but once I sealed everything up it worked fine.

now that's a good test!

Vjo_Dave bought this suit at the AOTY event.  I recalled he told me that he jumped into his pool wearing the suit and did not get wet.  Not sure how long he stayed in the water.

Thanks for the responses,
I would really like to get more reports from those who have purchased this suit.
The add says semi dry but the Neopreen seal at the neck would make it watertight.
I will probably just buy it and try it in the pool so others have a solid review.
Any more input is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric


And if u don't get to attached to it...I will buy it used.... :smt001
It's all about Today!!! Because who knows what tomorrow will bring... so Better get OTW n GetSome
