Does anyone know of any special offers / good value deals on dry suits at the moment?

I got a typhoon one from a place in Norwich.  Front zip and a free undersuit.  Excellent got delivered to Aberdeen the next day.  You can find them on the ebay link below but you can also phone them.  £199 and postage free.  I know a few who have had them and they have all been pleased.

Just to let you know that I have nothing to do with the company - this is a personal recommendation.

If you are not a standard size (44 chest 6 foot 2 for instance) try Trident, they are very helpful and and do sizes like 'medium broad' for us short plump people, and make them up to measure if required.

Nothing to do with me, but have bought a total of 7 drysuits for them over the years as the family have grown up.

Must say they look a good deal too with all the various options

Hammond make indestructable drysuits - I've still got the one I bought 15 years ago! It's getting a bit tight now though...

They shrink Mags, they shrink.Particularly after Christmas

The Dinghy Store at Datchet have a 20% off promotion...very helpful as well.

drysuits paaa.....drysuits are for the ladies....

If you check the trident site, you can get a front fly zip for extra :-)

not for the ladies... I hope

Hers came from Crewsaver, via the Dinghy Store at Datchet, she is happy.
Mine is coming from Trident..due to my "non-standard sizing requirement"....Trident were very helpful and seemed to understand what I meant by "City Cut"

What with sweat etc., I always thought "dry suit" was  a bit of an oxymoron I hate  wet suits so call me old fashioned but I prefer an all in one or two part "fitted" waterproof. Each to his own.

And miss the opportunity of spending the day dressed in rubber....what a tragedy.

):-  either you haven't tried out a dry suit for many years (they're nearly all breathable now you know) or you sweat far too much! 
Or maybe your not using it as it was intended (ie. for sailing in) ;)

Just so people would like to know if you are anywhere near Cheltenham Lynall boats is under new management and they are having a stock clearance apparantly old stock is reduced dramatically saturday the 2nd of december.  He may have some cheap dry suits i spoke to dave the owner and he has informed me he is pratically giving stuff away if anyone wants some details drop me an e-mail.

You are correct I have not tried one for years however I do not sweat I perspire - Horses sweat, nor as a ladies do I merely glow. But I deny any other activity than sailing in the one I had.

swapped my old drysuit for a breathable.
Still end up really wet inside that bag.

No.

Anyone able to recommend the Gul Infra Front Zip?  £195.50 plus free thermal fleece suit at present.

can recomend the typhoon breathable back zip - and i recently bought a gill I4 pair of thermal trousers- up to the chest with braces, which gives more control over what you wear on top. the one piece suits seem great if you need allover warmth but can be a bit much especially on the arms.

end of the day, the best suit is the one which fits you comfy

With regards to sweating inside a drysuit the mistake most people make is not wearing the correct undergarments. Jeans and a T shirt are not the right things to wear. In fact no natural fibre is good.  A good manmade wicking base layer with a fleece teddy bear or similar is the stuff....
