    Do you mean neoprene drysuits or body hugging drysuits?

    The Whites Fusion has a protective skin that kind of gives it a wetsuit look, if that's what you are going for.

    Several wetsuit manufacturers make dry suits out of neoprene. ScubaPro has one, and I think Waterproof does, too.

    Scubapro makes the Everdry4 which is a compressed neoprene drysuit (different from DUI's crushed neoprene drysuit). This suit looks, and feels like a wetsuit, but it keeps you dry. Other manufacturers make similar suits, some seem more like wetsuits than others. IMO the Everydry4 is the most like a wetsuit.

    Evad: Trust me they do exist, and believe it or not they have exhaust and inflation valves.
