Hi, well I am definitely a newbie, not only to this site but also to wakeboarding. Just learned in August and I am dying to get out again. It is just a little cold and I am considering investing in a drysuit. I know there are a few threads about which drysuits are the best but I am wondering if there is a difference between the mens and womens. Is the fit so different that a woman could not wear a mans for example. There seems to be a lot of mens drysuits but not womens. Any advice on womens drysuits would be appreciated. Also, when you crash (which I do frequently) how wet do you get under the drysuit?

ive never heard of womens drysuits. i ride with a bunch of girls and they all use my drysuit. its made to be a bit baggy so it isnt snug anywhere that it shouldnt be.
oneill suits will tend to leak a LITTLE bit around the collar. the reason is because it has a neoprene seal and so if you take a hard fall you might get a bit wet around your collar. it sorta looks like you got sweaty...not like your entire shirt is wet or anything. there are ways to avoid getting wet, and i usually dont ever get wet at all (and i fall a lot)

I have an O'Neill Boost Drysuit and it works great for guys or girls. I'd recommend getting a drysuit without any type of lining inside to keep you "warm". I used to ride with a guy who had a Bone Dry with fleece lining and it always just got wet and mildewed.

Oneill is pretty good but have heard awesome stuff about Bare drysuits check them out. Aso the new Throtle drysuit from Oneill promises to be pretty good, however , I havent tried it yet.

Girlfriend uses a Bare Ultra Dry. No male and female baggy suits(as far as I know), just sizes.
