Keith_Menard Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Which of these would you guys recommend? http://www.ski-it-again.com/php/skiitagain.php?endless=summer&topic=Search&category=Dry_Suit&postid=49966 http://www.ski-it-again.com/php/skiitagain.php?endless=summer&topic=Search&category=Dry_Suit&postid=49971 Maybe something else? I had purchased a new Oneil at the end of last season, but it didn't work out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Gar Posted March 11, 2019 Baller Share Posted March 11, 2019 Neither. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Andre Posted March 11, 2019 Baller Share Posted March 11, 2019 Neither for me too. Red O'Neill is now pink which is an indication of a lot of use for a drysuit. Oasis looks like a surf suit... Keep looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skibrain Posted March 11, 2019 Baller Share Posted March 11, 2019 @"Keith Menard" Which O’neill model did you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller igkya Posted March 11, 2019 Baller Share Posted March 11, 2019 @"Keith Menard" I have a baggy dry suit that's in great shape but does need the seals replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller UWSkier Posted March 11, 2019 Baller Share Posted March 11, 2019 How cold is your water? I find my Camaro Black Tec works great down to 50 degrees. Below that I put a heater shirt over it down to the low 40s. Have a baggy suit that's been in the closet for 8 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith_Menard Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 @Rednucleus according to the size chart, I was a small. On black friday one of the sites had a sale that made sense to me for what I would pay. Of course, it didn't fit and then the site said I couldn't exchange it as the sale was only on THAT size. Last year we skied into the 40's. I had a lot of layers of Camaro on :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef23 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 A dry suit is one of the things I would nut up for and buy a new one. I bought a used one once and it was never quite right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 75Tique Posted March 11, 2019 Baller Share Posted March 11, 2019 Depending on how cold the water gets, I would rather have a baggy with a ton of warm clothes under it than a thin layer of neoprene between me and the cold water.

Jetsetr Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 @75Tique is spot on...as a really cold water skier I can adjust the layers under the baggy to suit conditions (warmer air but still ice cold water like spring, or warmer water cold air like fall). Would also pony up for new. Ya get a warranty (my ONeil started leaking and was replaced no questions asked). JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller UWSkier Posted March 11, 2019 Baller Share Posted March 11, 2019 @Jetsetr I hear that, though two years ago we skied on March 12th in SE Wisconsin. First time in 38 years in Wisconsin skiing before Daylight Savings Time. Water temps were upper 30s. Thought I was nuts going into that in the Camaro but was surprised how comfortable (relatively) I was. Hands and feet were another story, but body was largely OK. I just never could get comfortable with the baggy. Too much drag, bulk, binding, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Skoot1123 Posted March 11, 2019 Baller Share Posted March 11, 2019 Was wondering how folks have gotten along with the camaro titanium silver wetsuit. I will use it for skiing as well as course maintenance. Course has sub-buoys where a nylon clip attaches and from there it is surgical tubing up to the buoys.

Keith_Menard Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 The Wileys is pretty tempting at that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsetr Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 @UWSkier No March 12 skiing this year...still a foot or more of ice on the lake...going to be a late start this year in SE WI.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Rednucleus Posted March 12, 2019 Baller Share Posted March 12, 2019 I have been using the same baggy since 1994! Occasional seal maintenance and wax the zipper and I ski all winter. Just adjust layers as temps rise & fall. I use mine ALOT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith_Menard Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 @MS You don't like the Wileys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighAltitude Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 The new 2018 O'Neil's run small... but if it's the right size, it's a great suit. I love the neoprene on the top as well as the bottom. I use it until I can switch to a heater top so it get's a lot of use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Andre Posted March 12, 2019 Baller Share Posted March 12, 2019 @Skoot1123 Great suit for skiing but just be careful when doing course maintenance as it is very fragile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
