Just an update. Went and looked at the suit, it turned out to be a small and I need at least a medium maybe a large (I'm 5'6" 160lbs). It needs at least one seal replaced (ankle)
Here is the link. For $75.00 I think it is still a good deal http://abbotsford.en.craigslist.ca/spo/2222576650.html |

I dont think you want a Large- Medium at most. The bag suits are plenty roomy... you dont want to be swimming in it any more than you need to be. $75 looks like a good deal, even if it needs some seals replaced.
Just dont ask HW to do any of the required repairs. I mean seriously- look at this clown (the other faces have been blurred to protect the innocent). ![]() |

Thanks for all the supportive emails guys, it means a lot.
![]() Midwest Rippers! If I were in a picture with HW (despite the poor lighting and wet hair) I'd want to hide my face too, don't blame you at all Tim.
A Medium will be perfect, lucky guess Tim. |

You make more excuses than my aforementioned "buddy" with all the OS drysuits- as it was so kindly pointed out, he's a LIAR! I guess it doesnt matter that he owns like 5 of them. I think his brother has one too. ![]() Ive got nothing left to say here. Im sure HW will get his last word in, but Im taking the high road. |

LOL.
Since apparently its not as painfully obvious to everyone as I assumed it would be, I should probably point out that there was no actual animosity in this thread yesterday... HW is about as close as I have to a younger (mentally challenged) brother. Well, maybe more like a cousin. Im standing next to him in this picture for those who couldnt guess. ![]() Of course, that doesnt change the fact that he cant fix a drysuit seal to save his life! ![]() I fully expect at least one more response out of him trying to carry this thing on one more time, but I suspect he wont be back on here for a few days, as he's testing out those drysuits in some cool TX water this weekend. I wish I was down there skiing with the PLBC too! |

If you really have to have the last word you need an iPhone so you're never in a situation were you can't get that last post in.
I've been playing with some iron on adhesive that seems to work pretty well. I got it at a place called Dive Rite In Scuba, they have videos on the website to explain everything. I've had the best luck when I had a mandrel to hold the suit real tight. It didn't work so well trying to adapt boots onto a suit that came without them, the glue took a couple of tries to get that to work. |

Couple things:
1. Always get commercial ankle/wrist seals. 2. Don't buy one too small, you can blow the seams out. 3. Seals are relatively easy to replace providing you have the correct tools. 4. OS rebrands their suits for a number of other manufacturers. http://www.ossystems.com/size.htm |

Tim is the jealous older brother who can't get over the fack that little brother/cousin (whatever you need to call it) grew up and has completely surprased him in all areas of life. It's classic. TRBenj was the pride of NWCT. Out of respect I let him tag along for the ride, which he should be absolutely thankful, but he just can't let go as evidenced in this blog.
Ron Scarpa Watersports sells OS Suits with their own patch on the chest. I have 2 suits branded with the OS patch, another with no markings at all, and a screenprinted Intensity. |

I just found another OS Breeze (no ankle guards/cuffs) on craiglist for $50, it needs 1 wrist replaced. Now is the time to buy a drysuit.

If only you knew someone capable of repairing seals, you'd be in good shape! |

I'll find someone someday, until then it's dishwashing gloves and duct tape.
