All I want for Christmas is my Kokatat Dry Suit

I've had my Kokatat SuperNova Angler T3 suit since 2011 (I think). I tore a hole in the suit, behind my right knee -- probably caught on the anchor cleat while straddling my Hobie. So I called their customer service and they gave me the address & info to send it in. Not sure if it was a factor, but I included a very nice hand-written letter. They called me the next week and said they would fix it free of charge even though it was not covered by warranty.
Anyways, I have an XL but usually wish I had an size L instead. I'm 6' 195lbs (although I'm ~175 now).

I have the same suit and I sent it in for new cuffs and neck gasket and tank testing. The back had some delamination and they sent me a new suit. Crazy good customer service and made in CA.

That's what I like to hear. Customer service plays a big part in my decisions.

Just found out my x-mas bonus is much fatter than expected. I see a Kokatat Supernova Hydrus 3L in my future. No more sweaty, itchy, piss-stanky wetsuit  mess for me...

I also am planning on getting the SuperNova Angler within the next few months.  What shoes do you recommend (I have a mirage drive) and what larger size to fit over the drysuit socks?
Also, some people here use chest waders in their kayaks to stay dry when launching during the cooler months.  Would a drysuit make them redundant?

half size and yes.
