Anyone using the Viking X-Treme drysuit?

[steevke]

Check on shipping cost, postage from here to Belgium cost about $50 USD for air mail, about half that if sent on a slow boat. (suit & light box should weigh 6 - 7 kg.)

Yup,

I can sell the suit (without valves). Name your price, shipping is extra. Seals and boots are OK. Legs are $@#!!?

That's the beauty of this particular message board layout; it's a good place to go rooting through the archives. Most of the info shared stays current for a loooong time.

I have had my Viking Extreme for a few years now,I like the suit but the zipper just gave out. I am looking at about $300
for a new zipper installed. I went with the Viking because it is one of the few manufacturers that have stock sizing for
someone my size, 6' 4" 270.

Front zip or rear?

Bob, i bought the suit from you a few years ago. it is a front zip .

 

[Bob3]

Viking has been recommending that new zippers for the Xtreme be installed "at the factory" (they get high frequency welded into the suit), which unfortunately means an extended road (or boat) trip.

Let me check with Viking & get you a time/cost guesstimate.
The rest of the suit is all solid & intact & otherwise a good idea to put back into service?

Bob, yes the suit is worth the price of a new zipper. It only has about 15 dives on it. Thats why I'm kind of surprized the rubber stop came apart on the zipper. I will get some pics posted for you.
