Noticed these surprisingly economically priced drysuits on Amazon but finding very little info about them.
Mostly sales pages on Amazon and a few vids on YouTube.
Anyone tried these or know much about them?
Sopras drysuits?

Re: Sopras drysuits?
Your link is being a bit of a butt....you mean these?
I've never heard of them. Looks to be a company in the Czech Republic. Interesting!

Re: Sopras drysuits?
Yes, that's the brand. Seems they've been around a while, just not a lot of feedback I guess.
Sorry, my first attempt posting a link. Thx for the heads up.

If you can wait for it to be made, there's always Seaskin drysuits. For a basic no-frills suit it's about $730 delivered, custom fit to you. I have one. With all the options I selected it was about $930 delivered (about half was a dry glove system). We have another one on order for my wife right now. Takes like 1.5-2 months to get it though. Hers is due end of Feb.

I'm sure it's not as nice as a DUI or Santi, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper, and works well so far for me.

Re: Sopras drysuits?
Sopras is a VERY good product line. I had worked for them for a few years when they first came to the US. Since I was the sales manager of a drysuit line, I couldn't really push the drysuits. But, I know drysuits and the Sopras were very impressive! Well made, nicely styled, pretty good American style fit and a great price. The only real drawback is that, while Sopras has very cheap replacement seals, they have crap glue. So, if you need to replace seals, it would be best to buy OS Systems seals and glue and do it yourself or take it to a shop that uses OS glue.
