I was intersting in getting a dry suit for coastal kayak fishing in NorCal.  Rather than buy online and hope the fit is right I would prefer to shop at a store and be able to actually try the suit on.  I was looking at kokatat and Stolquist.  It looks like West Marine stopped carrying drysuits, at least they don't have them on their website.  Any suggestions on places that have these?  Thanks

I bought mine at Clavey Paddlesports in Petaluma.

If you figure out your sizing, REI has the Stohlquist Shift on sale 50% off in S, M, and XL.

I was going to offer to sell you my very lightly used one, but I wouldn't want to match REI's price.

I purchased mine at Clavey also, I don't think they carry many in stock but they will order, and let you try it on to make sure the fit is good. Outdoor Play has 20% off sales fairly often.

I’m in Windsor and if you want to try on a large sized kokatat supernova angler you can try mine on if you don’t find the funky smell from it being well used  :smt044

REI has an excellent return policy too. If it wasn't for COVID, you could do free in-store pickup, try it out at the store, and return it on the spot if you didn't like the fit.
