I purchased a Kodiak second hand and it is a close fit but it does need a couple alterations. It sounds like a lot work and I don't know if it would be cost effective to alter this suit or purchase a new one. I got a great deal on this one and aside from the things listed below it fits great and i am very pleased with the mobility and durability of the suit.
I have downloaded the measurement form from the whites website and need to know if this will be sufficient to get all the appropriate alterations completed. The big question, if the alterations are possible, is what kind of cost would be incurred for this process. I have sent an e-mail to my local dealer and should hear back in a day or so. I wasn't sure if I needed to go through them or deal directly with Whites. If the Whites team could get back to me it would be greatly appreciated, i have attached my direct e-mail so we can discuss this off the board if they so desire.


1) the thigh area is a little to tight and with the pee valve i installed it is just to tight.
2) The previous owner had a hefty midsection and i need to get it taken in a little.
3) the arms are a little to short and need to be lengthened.
4) I would like to change the soles out from the ones made of the same material as the rest of the suit to a softer material, probably heavy Latex or neoprene.
