I hate going to the goodwill with my wife but the otherday I actually scored big time. I found a almost brand new Bare 7mm Dry suit with boots for $45!!! Brand new they are a $1000!!! It is missing the inflator hose but you can use your BCD inflator hose for a drysuit whip. It is my exact size when I checked the manufactuers fit guide!!!! Suit is in great condition with a few little cracks in the neck lining seal, near the top by your chin. Nothing a good hood wont cure Now I dont have a excuse not to dive these waters, except big white sharks .

Hey man, when are we all going diving? Grab your brother and let's hit the coast. I hear the Mendocino area is fantastic. Abalony (sp?) divers swear by it. I don't have adry suit though... but plenty of wet suits!

I have a BARE drysuit. 7mm crushed neoprene. I don't uses it anymore. This is my BARE ![-](http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d189/jmy413/bare003.jpg)
This is my newer suit. Made by Ocean Vendors out here in Antioch. Much nicer. Shell suits rock, this one was made custom to fit myself. Even got the P-valve so I can take a leak ![-](http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d189/jmy413/JoelB.jpg)
Good deal on your find. You should have it pressure tested just to make sure there are no leaks. [ January 23, 2006, 03:57 PM: Message edited by: sharkattack ]

That's awesome. We all have to get together and go diving. Someone needs to set something up.

How much weight do you need with a dry suit, is it the same as a comperable thinkness wet????
