hey everyone. As the title says, this is about drysuits. I have a boost drysuit from 08 or 09, and used it maybe 5-7 times at the beginning and end of each season. In my opinion, it's not a lot but whatever. It's at the point where it's definitely leaking, but i don't have any full blown holes or anything. Any weak point i can see looks more like the white mesh like material that lines the inside of the suit has separated from the tough outer material.
That said, what kind of repair is needed? Is it a re-taping and sealing of the seals situation? Being that the ankles are not torn (or any other major seal), i am guessing i don't need an entirely new ankle seal.
Any advice would be great. Ultimately, i'd like how to repair it on my own. It seems like a valuable skill, given the cost of these suits and they don't seem horribly durable (or so i feel, given my use).
Also, do you guys have any opinions on boost style vs. Traditional style drysuits? Could one be more durable than the other? And what are your experiences with drusuits and durability in general?
Thanks!
