Best buy on dry suits

Does anyone have any tops tips on where to get a good ribbing dry suit(s)?

Now that Summer is on the way, I should really think about getting prepared for next Autumn.

I got mine custom made at Raven Spring. After a few months, it started leaking water.. so I sent it back... apparently the glue had failed or something... so they made me a new one, with a couple of modifications free of charge... its perfect now... very good service. Would definately buy again from them!

Drysuit

I got mine direct from the Lomo store in Glasgow. Tornado Drysuit Mark II. Breathable with cordura reinforcing on the knees and bum and latex collar, cuffs and socks. Retails at £175. They are on the web at www.ewetsuits.com. Mine kept me bone dry all last week and I seemed to be in the water constantly. Highly recommended

Drysuit

Totally agree with the Lomo Tornado being excellent value. Had an original Mark 1 which was replaced free when the Mark 2 came out. Have used it extensively in West of Scotland, the Solent and Inland Waters and it has never let me down.
Service provided by ewetsuits is first class.
