Well It's nearing that time that I have to start putting on a wet suit. I bought a great Xcel Revolt 4/3 web suit that I used all of last year and it worked fine. At some points of the year though I would get a little chilly in the water and I would get cold upon coming back in the boat.
Now I'm considering a dry suit. Supposedly I hear you don't get cold at all since you can dress warm, and afterward your not wet. Sounds great!
Few questions:
1. I would need one for myself (6ft 180lb) and my Wife (5'2" 105lb). I am guessing I would need 2 different ones correct?
2. How do the seals work? I understand they are probably good enough to keep water out from just exposure to water. but what happens when you fall? I am ALWAYS trying to stuff when I'm out so I am most definitely falling. I understand if a few drops get in, no big deal. But if pounds of water are forced in, it kinda makes the suit pointless!
3. Anyone have any recommendations? I'm looking to get something that's high quality and will last, so budget isn't an issue, within reason. I've found recommendations from a thread from like 6 years ago, but I'm guessing (hoping) technology has improved since then....
Thanks!
