[edit] Drysuits for other uses than scuba diving?

  • The intro mentions that drysuits are worn by "scuba divers, small boat users and others who work or play in or near to cold water", but the rest of the article is exclusively about the scuba-diving kind. It would be great to get some input from kayakers, for example, who often wear a different kind of drysuit. FreplySpang 18:01, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
  • I made the text more generic, and added entries for watersports. My experience is with wind and kite surfing, so it would still be good to get kayaking info.

[edit] Merge

  • I'm against the merge. A drysuit is not a type of wetsuit. They are both environmental and thermal protection suits for use in or near water. Both were at one time described in a single article (diving suit); do we really want to go endlessly round in circles? Mark.murphy 17:58, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
  • No thanks, they are completly different things...

[edit] A redirect needed

  • Not an editor or contributor to this page, but I just wanted to let you know that "Dry Suit" redirects to "Diving suit" instead of here. I assume this is an artifact that someone would want to fix. 74.93.230.113 19:26, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of makers and sellers of drysuits?

  • I BOUGHT A DRYSUIT last year. After getting some basic information on this website, I gathered information about drysuits for use at water's surface. Eventually bought a suit for sculling that had been designed for kayakers. I think it w3ould be helpful for readers to have access to a list of manufacturers and sales outlets.
