|
|
| 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) _________________ www.TheLiquidPlayground.com

| 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. _________________ G. |

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