Custom made drysuits
Hi Guys,
Been thinking about having a drysuit made as I don't fit the standard measurements eg I am short and stubby!!
Has anybody had any experience of these firms? :

I need one for sailing  and on the Rib.

I have a similar problem and always had mine made at 'Robin hood water sports' they make theirs in house and I can say they do last for years.
The last time I was there it had expanded into different sections, they even have their own pool so you can try before you buy!
Hope it helps

My mtm suits come from polar bears. Others swear by lomo or seal skin.
