****** Drysuit Weight question********

[seaworm]

How much weight will I need if I weight 130-135 pounds and 5'7 for drysuit diving

Salt water or fresh? Undergarments thick or light?

 

[Keith.M]

Tri-laminate or neoprene? Lots and lots of variables.

As you can sort of tell from the answers you have gotten, there is not enough information in your post for us even to guess. Dry suits can be made of neoprene or various fabrics, which can change the lift from the suit itself. Undergarments range from simple fleece to thick hybrid garments of fleece, Thinsulate, and even Hollofill. In addition, it makes a difference what BC you are using, because some jacket BCs can be up to 3 pounds positive, whereas a steel backplate will reduce your lead requirement by 5 or 6 pounds.

My goto answer for questions like this is 42. I came to that answer by multiplying 6 X 9.

If you have a pool available, test it your self. there are just too many variables to deal with.

Is there a reason you cannot do a proper weight check? As others have said too many variables and even with more info it would still only be a guesstimate. Good luck.

Do you recall what you learned when you took your Drysuit Class in 2012?
