Reply to: Picking a drysuit

[quote=tumbolo]I just picked up a couple Ocean Rodeo Igniite dry suits for long distance sailing up in British Columbia. We have been out a few times in them in really unpleasant conditions. They are by far the best sailing drysuits I have worn. I say this for a few reasons. First they have a built in jacket with a very high spray collar (just like what is seen on offshore sailing foulies), it is great for tucking your face into and protecting it from spray. Second, it has a hood which I like in cold rainy conditions. Third, standby mode. when its warm and conditions are easy I can take off the neck gasket and let the suit breath. I can still have the outer jacket zipped up and protect myself from spray. Forth, built in knee pads. These maybe a little pricy and a little bit overkill for warmer climates or day sailing, but for long distance sailing in moderate zones I would look into them. Also, definitely get a suit with built in booties![/quote]
