$300 for BARE drysuit. no frills.. not the uber-deluxe brand or model.. but does the trick and does it well.
for the limited uses it gets, i am certain it will last for many many seasons. repairs on these types are simple as well.. i bought my shorty at Sams club for 25 dollars.. that was 4 years ago.. its perfect still. bought my full at WSW for 100$ 3 years ago.. again.. perfect. Dan just got a semi-dry full .. might be able to chime in on its comfort compared to a standard wetsuit. luckily we dont have the serious cold severe weather that everyone else at this time has to deal with.. the drysuit is a bit overkill.. but damn its nice to wear on those chilly days. i think the bigger problem is finding the perfect pair of gloves.. have not found them yet. my hands are always the first to go on the cold days. |

Neil Pryde makes the ultimate cold water gloves for windsurfing and kitesurfing. They are called open palm neoprene gloves and allow you to directly grip the bar without sacrificing protection from the cold.

Inferno,
I don't doubt that that's as much as your whole quiver. I guess that the difference is depending on what kite you get, you don't need a "whole quiver". If you aren't getting any range out of your kites, maybe you should switch. Ha ha ha... just kidding. have a good one. Kent |

Bryan,
Check out Mystic's gloves, the ones that have the index finger separated from the rest of the fingers. They don't have the open palm like the Neil Pryde ones, but they have little rubber grippers and the material doesn't feel like it interferes with your grasp. I like the index being separated compared to the full mitt, as it makes it easy to grab a line or emergeny release if necessary.The back side of the glove is fully skinned for wind protection. Roy and I wore ours last weekend in 30 degree temps with wind chills in the 20's, and our hands were just fine. |
