    Whites Drysuit

    Hello, I am looking to buy a used whites dry suit... It has the drysuit zippers and fleece thermal suit. Question... this suit does not have the chest inflator nor exhaust valve on the left shoulder? This suit looks like a dry suit, but what kind of dry suit does not have inflator and exhaust? The suit does have rubber seals associated with dry suit?

    Another question... could I add the inflator and exhaust valve and if so how much? I am looking to buy this for 450.00 which includes both suits and 2 pair whites diving boots. Suit has been dove 4 times

    Thanks, MIke

    Its not for diving. Its for surface water sports. Water skiing etc etc

    ???? Confused. Why would a suit be made with a seperate thermal under suit, drysuit zippers/pockets and bubber seals if used above water?

    Well, gee. If I was water skiing and I wiped out...where would I be?
