    Dry suit for sale

    Honestly I can’t remember if there is a boot size given. I’m not home so I can’t check it, sorry. My shoe size is 10-11. The suit is ML.

    Dry suit for sale

    Yes. I found out the issue was my thin wrists and when I moved my hands the tendons would stick out, creating the space for the water. I did buy the dry gloves but like I said, they are still in the box, never used.

    Is there a Dutch Springs forum?

    I live an hour away from Dutch Springs. I’m selling all my scuba gear and looked for the Dutch Springs dive forum that I used to go to but can’t find it. Is it still in existence?

    D1 Hybrid wrist seals leaking - NOT resolved!

    Waterproof has been good as far as helping to resolve the issue. Unfortunately, nothing has worked so far. I have had at least two pair of the hard inner rings, multiple silicon seals and nothing has worked. Most recently Waterproof sent me a pair of the dry gloves that go with the suit. I...

    D1 Hybrid dry suit information requested

    Overseas, there are more threads under "Waterproof" as that is the supplier here in the US. Wrist seals seem to be a problem with this suit. There is a long thread in the Waterproof section. Waterproof has been good as far as trying to help resolve the leaks, but the last time I tried I still...

    D1 Hybrid wrist seals leaking - NOT resolved!

    Update: saga continues. I have mixed emotions about the customer support that I have received. First, as I've stated before, the dive shope where I got it - Lehigh Valley Dive Center - gets a "0" on a scale of 1 - 10. Waterproof is a different story. Megan has been very helpful. Christian...

    D1 Hybrid wrist seals leaking - NOT resolved!

    I'm not sure what soapy water would do in making the seal. Some people use it to help get the seals over wrists but the silicone seals on this suit is so soft and stretchy that I don't think you'll need the soapy water. I made three dives yesterday and there was no change. Hopefully the new...

    D1 Hybrid wrist seals leaking - NOT resolved!

    The issue is not yet resolved. And I hope that my issue is NOT reflective of the entire line. But I can say that two other divers told me that they had the same issue. I watched one of them wring the water out of his undergarment after a dive. But to be completely fair, I cannot say what...

    D1 Hybrid wrist seals leaking - NOT resolved!

    Issue continues to be unresolved. Yesterday it was the worst so far. After 2 dives I was able to wring water out of one of my undergarment sleeves. I was next to two divers who were drysuit repair guys. They replaced one writst seal with a latex seal to see if there was a difference on the...

    DUI zip seals for the D1 Hybrid drysuit?

    Does anyone know if the wrist seals that come with the Waterproof D1 Hybrid drysuit can be removed and replaced with DUI's zip seals? I have a new D1 Hybrid with about 20 dives on it and every single dive so far the wrist seals have leaked. I've had dry suit repair guys look at, Waterproof had...

    D1 Hybrid wrist seals leaking - NOT resolved!

    I had posted in another thread that the problem I was having with the wrist seals leaking on my NEW D1 Hybrid was resolved when I discovered that the wrist seals were installed incorrectly so that the silicone was pinched between the two oval rings, creating what I thought was channels for water...

    Unable to remove D1 wrist seals

    That's good info, thanks. But like I said, your G1 5MM gloves are so good that I may not need the dry gloves. The wrist seals are a different story. My suit is now enroute to you in CA. There is no question that they are leaking (sorry). Please see my other thread because I need help on this...

    D1 Hybrid wrist seals leaking - resolved!

    Unfortunately, the saga continues with the leaking wrist seals of my D1 Hybrid drysuit. Replacing the seals with the new ones that Waterproof sent me (thank you, Waterproof) did not help the problem at all. On Sunday, I performed the following test: I suited up, zipped up, rolled the wrist...

    D1 Hybrid dry gloves?

    Thanks, WP. I will check those out. However, my Waterproof G1 5MM 5 Finger wet gloves are working so well that, if I can fix the leaking wrist seals, I don't think I will need the dry gloves!

    D1 Hybrid wrist seals leaking - resolved!

    I just replaced the seals. I did not find a method that worked really well, but that may just be because it was my first time replacing them. All I did was take it nice and slow, pushing it into the hard ring a little at a time, and watching the edge to make sure it stayed in the groove. I...

    Waterproof D1 Hybrid Drysuit

    Cool (really). My feet were light in the drysuit. I moved 2 lbs down to my ankles and it's good now. I'm also using underarmor cold weather running gear for my undergarments and it was good.

    Waterproof D1 Hybrid Drysuit

    30 deg? Where were you? I had the same issue with my feet. I did use 1 lb ankle weights with a Velcro strap which has worked fine. Why did you say not to use the ankle weights?
