Another benefit of the suit is its MUCH warmer in than any wetsuit could be and you can always add/subtract clothes underneath. And your not freezing when your standing half out the water on a perch or walking back to the truck
Also, you'll find you get more use from it in the long run, since ya just wear regular clothes, its easy in/out or switch back to waders when hopping spots for a night.
I hate to think what I'd would have to do putting a wetsuit on or driving to the usual 3-4 spots a night I hit with a w/s on.
For me, just getting out farther onto rocks, bars and beaches, without really swimming, the d/s gets the nod.
Your welcome to give the drysuit a try, and I recommend it before you drop $ for a wetsuit
Yes, I like the sound of the d/s. Is that you in the picture sans the glasses?
