Looking to change from wetsuit to drysuit for this winter season...
Hoping to get some insight into the ocean rodeo Soul vs Heat vs other companies like Zhik/Musto/Kokatat.
The soul is the only one with ankle seals vs sock and also has the pee zipper.
Zhik and Musto are on sale for black friday right now <$500. That's about half as expensive as the Soul.
The Musto has neoprene seals vs latex like the others.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Ocean Rodeo Soul is the way to go, rock solid heavy weight build, great zips, great looking, easy to repair. My last OR heat lasted 6 seasonns.
I would stay clear of socks , too bulkie and feel wierd inside booties. Drysuits just simply make winter kiting more bearable IMO.

I HATE ankle seals. The built-in socks are the best part of of drysuit IMO. You just have to buy a pair of low top booties 2 sizes too large to protect the socks.
