Any thoughts as in, should you buy it? If that price point is good for you then I would say go for it. All though it looks like a ski suit from the 80s, the fish, water and so forth do not care.

Whites is a great brand of drysuit. It is now owned by AquaLung. Other than the ugly color I would say that as long as it does not leak it is a good deal on a drysuit.

If you are considering purchasing this suit, make sure you have it leak tested, and check when the valves were last serviced. Are the wrist seals and neck seal serviceable, or do they need to be replaced? If possible, take it for a "test dive" in a pool to make sure it fits properly.
The suit looks like an old bi-lam that I had from Whites. The suit was de-laminating inside, and the cost of repair was quite substantial. I wound up retiring my Whites bi-lam and went with a Seatux custom neoprene suit that lasted me well over 500 dives.
