A seat harness will wear your crotch even faster, but a waist harness will also, in time. The weak spot in a drysuit, always. Repairing works only for a short while, it will get worn and leak just at the end of the repair... Also, stitches will leak during time. So unless it is in a non loaded area...

Had the same problem with the whole crotch area of my suit, caused by my board short harness leg straps stretching the area. I coated about a 8" square area on the inside with a vinyl adhesive. Not sure how long it will last however.

Tillman, I see you are from Kiel. Love that city. My grandmother lived in Kiel on Lornsenstrasse.

Wow, very impressive!

Regarding the 17m, I probably use my 17m Fat Lady more than anything here in the midwest. My 13.5 Best Kahuuna is my second most used.

I got the 22m Aurora II early last year. It flew right out of the bag and was definitely a session savor for me several times.

- Mesh helps for windchill but the durability is shorter. - Thickness helps, but to much gives cramp. - Gloves with bended fingers helps an lot for cramps in de underarms I always go for a mesh glove or mitten where the fingers are bend. The NPX mitten is the most warm glove I've had. http://cdn1.b...

Bob,
Sorry to hear about the ribs.
I've been using the ION B2 board shorts and they've been really good about not jamming the jewels or riding up wedgie style.

What I use is an older version of this Coleman Rechareable Pump https://www.amazon.com/Coleman-Rechargeable-Quick-Pump-Colors/dp/B00005JD40 I think I paid $20 for it off of eBay. I see it in stores for $30. It works pretty quickly. I inflate through the deflate valve, then finish off with the pump. ...

Toby, is personal equipment allowed, or is the the area reserved for testers only?
