Palm Dry Suit

Does anyone half any input or helpful information about these suits? I have an opportunity to purchase one and I am looking for people's experiences with them.


What is a fair price of these suits?
Front Entry with neoprene neck with hood,wrists and full booties.


If there is another suit that you would recommend please let me know...
I have heard a lot of good stuff about these types of suits and would appreciate any advice you can give.


Any recommendations on a good quality but not super expensive two way radios?
 

I have one habd have been very satisfied with it. I have gone in a few time and have had no issues. The main difference besides materials is the neoprene neck. If you are that deep in the water for that long to let a significant amount if water in you will have drowned. The wrists are rubber and there a full foot booties

Thanks Eric,  glad to hear it.....do you mind if i ask how much you paid for it?

Hi Yakhopper,   any recommendations on a good radio?

Sorry,
Still looking for a better radio.

I also have that palm suit and love it.
The material is a little thinner than the Kokatat but no issues thus far.
I paid $299.99 two years ago.

Thanks YH,   I appreciate the info.....currently running without radio and trying to bring up my WAF account....as well as general safety on my solo missions!

Yeah me too. I think we both got them and the PIF event we had in the East Bay. CCK or was it Adventure Sports had a deal at the event.

Actually I missed the special buy, but found it on a special at campmore.com

I picked up one used last year for 200 bucks. Pretty nice suit but it doesn't take much to put a hook through the material. But for the price it's really hard to beat. I upgraded to the  kokatat and handed it down to my cousin to use. It's got a few patch jobs but it's still working well for him.

I really like mine as well

I've had two Palm drysuits (serially) since 2006?. I'm not sure on the exact date it was originally purchased, but it's been a while. The first suit failed due to delamination of the WPB coating from the fabric, first noticed while I was on a kayak fishing trip in AK in 2008. Definitely put a damper (pun unintended) on the remainder of the trip.

Palm acknowledged the delamination was a manufacturing defect and replaced the suit for me, even though it was over a year old. Gratis. The current suit is holding up fine.

Mine was not their top of the line expedition suit, but one level below. Latex neck and wrist gaskets, relief zip, waterproof booties.

I'd buy another suit from them.
