Customizing a wetsuit.

[VinceRaptor]

I have done some white water kayaking and some ocean kayaking as well. I have a basic short sleeve and short leg outfit. Well I realize that the bugger gets mighty cold sometimes and that I wouldn’t mind getting a suit that I could unzip the arms and legs for warm water and have them on for cold water. Is there such thing? I am also wondering if at all possible if there is paint out there that permanently adheres to the wetsuit material? When I went to marine world I saw the trainers with the Orcas. I loved their suits but can’t find anybody on the Internet that sells that suit. I Badly want a suit that looks dead on to the Orcas color and pattern. Where do I get such a suit?

These guys will make custom suits and modify stock suits. I know someone who had JMJ add zippers to the arms and legs of a stock suit. Something like $15.00 per zipper as I remember. I saw the result and you can't tell it was an aftermarket add-on.
JMJ is local to me.There may be some place close by you if not you will have to work over the phone and mail packages.
