New Socks or Boots on Typhoon Surface Drysuit

[Simon B]

The latex socks on my Typhoon surface suit have gone the way of all latex??? I can get a new pair put on quite easily, have any members gone for replacing them with boots either wellington types or diver type?

I had been using Typhoon rock boots but your feet get well cold on a long day out.

Am very happy with neoprene bootees and a decent pair of fishing over boots
Never felt cold

Give Dennis at Predator Suits a call. Great bloke, very knowledgeable and will be able to advise best options. All my suits are diving suits and have standard neoprene and rubber boots which are very comfortable and hard wearing with lots of grip and comfortable to wear on sharp surfaces due to having a thick sole. I'm sure Dennis can fit these to any type of suit.

+1 for Dennis. Top bloke who does repairs for lots of the RNLI suits. Got my current (diving) drysuit from him in June and the workmanship is superb.

If you want to stay dry latex all the way I use rock boots and never had a problem with cold but it does help if you wear a couple of pair of thermal socks underneath

My dive suit has a crushed neoprene sock, over which I wear a pair of canvas tennis shoes.

I have used and currently own both types, and much prefer a built in boot, mostly for ease of donning and doffing, plus it is less to wash.

I'm the same, always wear some thick socks too. Only problem I have is that the boots on my drysuit are too big to fit in the footstraps on my thundercat!

I'm thinking renew in latex, cheaper than boots, just get some thermal socks. Might try Aldi!
