Dive Rite 905 Drysuit with rear entry. Size Large (boots size 12). Fit me well 6ft 1 ~ 195 lbs.
This has been a fantastic suit, I've logged ~350 dives on it and recently dove 16 days straight getting cave certified in February...but the glue has started to fail that was used for the pockets / suspenders. My last day of diving I was crouched down on my knees and felt water leak through the crotch seam.
As you'll notice in the picture I purchased a large tube of aquaseal and was about to embark on a good quarantine project to re-glue all the seams and pockets. However, the boots (which I just replaced) are too big and I've always wanted a self donning suit, so in the end, I decided to splurge and buy a brand new dry suit.
In prep for my cave dive trip I replaced the zipper, the boots, and the inflator valve - so all are basically brand new ($600 sunk cost). The zipper and boot replacements were done by express dry suit in Tigard, OR in late 2019. The neck seal is in good shape. One of the two wrist seals has that pin-hole, but dove dry with a small patch.
The suit is equipped with a dive rite pee valve (cleaned with vinegar solution after last use).
If you're interested in investing some time, this suit has great potential. I would keep it as my backup if the boots fit better (I put in a some thick insoles which helps - I'm a size 10). However, my new suit has Si replaceable neck/wrist seals so I suspect it will just hang in my closet.
Available for local pick up in Porltand, OR for $300. Or happy to ship.
