I would stay away from that. It looks to me some product from China. Drysuits are prone to wear/delamination/breakage, etc. I had issues with mine after just a season in the salt. Sent it back to Kokatat and they fixed it under warranty. Best customer service hands down. Now if these ebay drysuits break down, where would you send it to? Ship back to a Chinese manufacturer and it'll cost more to ship and back plus other costs and hassles. I'd say spend just a little bit more and buy from a Reputable company like kokatat. I got mine on sale (20% off) from Clavey's for less than $500 a while back. Always think long term.

Been using Kokatak dry suit for over 5 years and very happy with the product as well as their service.

But once, cry once.

In other words, get a Kokatat.

Agreed, Its worth the money in the long haul buy a Kokatat … 3 years of saltwater fishing abuse and still like new. Clavey is where I bought mine from too, they will help you find the right one.

I went with a foreign suit. The Palm made by the Brits I think...
Zero support but I did  get 5 yr of heavy use out of it so I think I came out ok

I have deep respect for the higher end Kokotats but I decided to go with Stohquist.  CCK in jack London had the Elvis model on clearence  a fewmonths ago and I am very happy with it. Worth comparing side by side for same price pt of under $600
