I meant to post on this earlier.

Some things I have learned about dry suits.

1. If you take a big wipeout, there is a good chance your going to get water inside. Not alot, but enough to annoy the hell out of you.

2. The definately keep you warm. If I lived anywhere from the North Florida norhtward, I would have one for sure.

3. Make sure the suit has a zipper near the crotch to take a piss and not have to peel the upper part of the suit off.

Good luck on your search, I have had a Gul for 3 seasons now and have had no problems, although others have had issues with their Gul suits.

Zipper location is key. The NPX would be my vote. Looks sick.

.
If you don't want to stop to take a leak you can always wear Depends. On the program Dirty Jobs they were using dry suits to retrieve cars that had fallen through the ice and adult diapers were recommended (probably joking around?).
