I believe this particular brand has had some leaking issues.

Thanks SBD!  Good to know. 

Any word about Kokatat's new dry suit that you, ChuckE and Paul Lbeen have tested out.  Last time I heard production was like in Jan 2009, but do you know anymore updated info?   

I'm sure Kit Mann has something to add.

They all have issues with "leaking" as in "there ain't no fly"

Back in the late 70's when I started working as a diver I paid over $2k for a drysuit(DUI) and never liked it mainly for that one reason

Plus it was super hot

And remember to zip it shut too!!!  D'oh!  Once this year I went in the drink (on a seal entry down a bank) and another time I was washing up the gear including rinsing my dry suit while it was still on me.  Both time I forgot to zip the fly shut.  A lot of good that did me ...
