? 8/10/2005 - Pondering Drysuit

Still trying to decide on this drysuit (Diving Concepts Neo Z).  I think its really good, but its just a bit short in the arms.  I?m not sure if it is a big deal.  The seal ends about 2 inches short of the beginning of the hand.  If I wear gauntlet style gloves, it?s not like I?d have any exposed skin there or anything.  The salesman says it should be ok anyway.  I don't know him well enough to know if he's going for the sell (although its such a deal, I can't believe he's trying to rip me off).  Its still a chunk of change and I don?t want to regret this purchase.  I suppose if I really don?t like it, I could probably recoup almost all my money by selling it because I?m getting a decent deal.  Must be time for bed.  I'm rambling.

? 8/11/2005 - Dry Suit

The Neo Z looks like a nice suit. The seal should be placed right above the little bone in your wrist-; so given that, how much skin is exposed when you have gloves on? Don't let the LDS sweet talk you into buying something that doesn't fit.. (and they will too!). Good luck :)

? 8/12/2005 - wrist fitting

Posted by voodooconstant
The seal ends about 3/4" past the little nub bone on my wrist. There wouldn't be any exposed skin if I wear a gauntlet glove. I've been trying to look at people wearing them online to get a better idea, but haven't found anything solid. The rest of the suit seems to fit well. Sounds to me like it might not actually be THAT short. Maybe I've found a great deal!
