Don't have it, but I personally wouldn't recommend it just looking at it. There's some good info on drysuits here if you search.

Some nice features:
GoreTex
front zipper
Velcro cuffs
relief zipper
Reputation for durability

Remember, if conditions warrant a drysuit, the suit's failure could be lethal for you.

I've read several posts on drysuits on here but have not seen one on this suit. I have always been plenty warm in a wetsuit but am thinking maybe dry this winter.

I would splurge on this one instead.

Hi All ,
I bought a wet suit for the first time when I got into kiteboarding . I love it .
A dry suit must even be more fun and it was for a few sessions only and then .....
I was at Nitnat BC on the far side of the bay and when i did my transition to head back something felt wrong . Did the wind die , am I in a dead zone , oh wait , there's the problem ! From my knees down I was a fat guy . I was 50 lbs heavier . I got out of the water and drained my suit of the several gallons that had come in from my zipper which had opened ! I wear a life jacket (over top of the dry suit ) and it had helped keep the water from gushing in , I thought I felt something trickle in but having too much fun ignored it , until the above happened . I used it again and had some seepage , this thing is like one season old , no brand names will be mentioned as that is not the point here .
I have been caught in a rip tide before and also swam too far once . These close calls gave me a fear like no other . I'll wear my wet suit 5/4 and throw a xl shorty over top if it's real cold but I wont trust that so called dry suit again .
I tell this to many people ; Jump in the lake with your street clothes on and try to swim to shore from a boat ( with others near to pull you out when you realize you can't make it ) Once you experience that you will never think of not wearing a life preserver . Or maybe you want your family to cash in on your life insurance .
As far as their guarantee , well it wont help you if it fails out past the breakwaters !
my 2cts Idea

Buy the Santa Clause suit, dude. Please. Nobody is saying it, but we nominate you to be "that guy". C'mon, we've all had to take one for the team, so seize this season, man- its your turn! It'll only last one season anyway.
