Freestyle DrySuit

[HurricaneMax]

Last year I rode a lot during the winter and my only problem was getting wet and then being cold. I wear a spring Jet-tribe WetSuit and then a full body 5/4mm WetSuit over that and Im still freezing. I love to ride and I want to be able to ride during the winter, but its just too cold. Does anyone know of a good semi-cheap DrySuit that will be flexible enough for freestyle tricks yet durable enough where when I fall water wont get in?

O'Neil boost if they still make it.

IMO i think drysuit is not to nice for freestyle, since there eventually get water in.
A good wetsuit, like rip curl, oneil, billa bong or similar, preferably with hood.
I have a GUL 6/5/4 with integrated hood, i NEVER freeze on my body even with riding 0 deg water. Only places i can freeze, is on my feet, hand and my face palm.

Me and my dad water all year round. I have an Adrenaline Drysuit and he has a O'neil both are nice, but I like the O'neil better. His O'neil has suspenders built in and makes a big difference.

I have a Stay-Dry suit, which is made by the same Oregon manufacturer. I believe the Adrenaline shop has gone out of business. But Wiley's ski shop still sells them.
Regardless, it's a baggy suit, over 20 yrs old, big enough I can wear any amount of insulation necessary and I am almost always dry getting out of it. I wish I was a killer freestyle rider, but I do ride a Skyski with it too..... Flips & rolls & way more crashes. And I'm still dry getting out of it.

Made to order, Watcon drysuit. Booties on the feet to keep you warm. ( I wear socks) Only moisture I get is typically from sweat.

I was thinking the same thing.

I had one of the original Slippery Sub-Zero dry suits and found it very restrictive as well as almost too hot. You never knew if you were wet from a leak or sweating balls.

The Slippery Matrix 2-3mm wet suit from the same era was almost as warm and way more flexible. I ran pretty hot blooded in those days though as the local water temps would start around 38F in the spring and warm up to 68F on a good summer. I found the only time I really preferred the drysuit was when there was still ice in/on the water, 2 degrees warmer and the wet suit was so much better.
