Built from 3.2 oz., 3-layer Evolution&$153; fabric with rugged, waterproof Optiseal&$153; zippers, this suit will keep you dry and comfortable for years.
Much more comfortable & protective than a wetsuit
I tried using my 3mm diving suit years back & neoprene at the shoulders was just too restrictive. The next thing that I tried was an NRS Farmer John with a drytop & that's still a good option for moderate conditions. I'm sold on the GFER for all aspects, comfort, range of motion & protection. Great suit!! I tried it for the first time mid Dec in the Connecticut salt marshes & loved it. Comments: * The zipper will take some getting used to/breaking in * The booties are great, but my normal watershoes are too small with the booties, I'll resolve that with some calf high botties the next size larger than my shoe size.
Excellent product
I've boated for 30 years and have had a GFER drysuit for the last two seasons; just bought one for my son. 1000 times better than a wetsuit. The built-in sox and the relief zipper make it great. I suggest one that is a bit large so the suit doesn't limit your movements.
worth the money
Very comfortable, keeps you dry like no other suit, kokatat makes the best drysuit by far. don't get a cheapo its worth the extra green.
