Try wetsuitoutlet.com seams to be one of the cheapest around.

Just dont ask for them for help if it is faulty!

My brandnew drysuit leaked from day one all they did was tell me to send it back to the manufactor, had the cheek to even tell me that I may have punctured it!

Its off at the manufactors at the mo, will call them tomorrow to see what the verdict is.

The clue is in the name! Its a garment that has elasticated openings for your hands and head that keeps the rest of your body dry while under water. They're great for scuba diving in cold waters (like the Pentland Firth!). They're good if they fit well, but if they leak they're right miserable and useless.

Wetsuits, which are better for warmer waters or more athletic pursuits such as surfing, let water in to the skin. They sorta keep you warm cuz the water inside the suit warms up and stays inside, but I wouldn't recommend them for diving in the North Sea.

Hey,

Thanks for your replies. I tried Tempest and the surf shop on street but they don't have any. Found out that Harpers fishing shop can order them but i'll look about.

Cheers
