Should I buy this Drysuit?

[smallribber]

It is the tight rubber bit around your neck that I dont like and puts me off Dry Suits.
I bought a Fladen Flotation Suit and although I have not used it yet I think it will do the Job I want it for. I bought the one with separate jacket and trousers

neoprene seals are much more comfortable and far easier to don or remove . i cant get away with latex seals either but have no issues with my typhoon and find it very comfortable to wear all day

If you are on your own at times you need FRONT entry dry suit, preferably with Neoprene neck seal.

That might be your preference but isn’t necessarily universal. I’ve always found that I can manage a rear zip on my own if I need to and I’m very happy with latex seals too.

The key to seals is they fit and not too tight with plenty of talc or French chalk also don't shave on the day for some it makes you sore round you neck, after wearing dry suits for over 30 years I prefer 3 MM neoprene seals and now have front entry zip reason can't bend my arms now with arthritis and it's easy to have a pee or get stuff out of your pockets

Front entry is a hell of a lot easier to get in and out of than rear entry, if you are on your own. I am happy with latex seals also, but i find Neoprene more comfy and warmer.

Because out of the water a wet wetsuit gets very very cold quickly when exposed to 30 knots of wind.

Gul leaks, gul don’t care,

Can confirm, everything gul i've had fell apart.

Whilst I have a Typhoon drysuit, and very good it is too, I’ve had numerous Gul wetsuits dating back from the eighties and can’t recall any of them falling apart.
No 1 son also has a Gul drysuit. Fairly cheap, lots of use in its 3 year life and hasn’t fallen apart/leaked yet.

Gul wetsuits are great that’s why I bought the dry suit trouble is it thinks it a wet suit

The 30knts wind thing.... wet suit and cag is the ideal combo I find, lent my cag to a friend going to miss it this weekend so I have a choice break the damp suit out or the wetsuit
