I want to upgrade to a dry suit. I have a hard time finding clothes that fit and would like to find a store with a good selection. Anyone have a recommendation on a store to go to?

Of course, the biggest decision is whether you want to look like Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, or Dr. McCoy...

So you are saying that wearing red is probably a bad idea on that away mission...?

I'm sure you can always return/exchange it if it's too small/large when you order it

Yes, absolutely. Well, unless you are Scotty...

Petaluma is close enough. I'd rather try before I buy at those prices.  :smt044

I recall a post about a rental shop in Tahoe that usually has a good sale on drysuits... but I can't remember the name of the place or find the post.

I'm not suggesting I should go anywhere else. I just want to try the fit before I buy. Ordering online and sending it back and forth to get the fit is a total pain.

Stohlquist just lowered their prices on drysuits.  The Amp is now $599.99 instead of over $800.00 and they have a new one that has neoprene neck and wrist closures instead of rubber that is only $499.99.  Oh, and yeah, I can get one for you at Pacific Outfitters (shameless plug).  The new one is offered in all black only.  Not sure if any Star Trek crew had an all black outfit, but I'm sure they didn't die before the first commercial!
