: Well, now I've gone and done it.

: You may have seen this posted in the Q-USA forum or on my website, but I
: finally finished the home built drysuit project that I had been talking
: about for a while. The pics of the build are on the bbs for Black Dog
: Kayaks, but this isn't a commercial post, as we're not offering these for
: sale. It was a personal project. I know others here have been considering
: doing the same thing so I thought I would post pics for them.

: Note that the fact that I did it does not, in any way, imply that I think
: that you should make your own drysuit. It's a commitment, not only of
: sewing, but of leak-chasing. I used over 100 feet of Gore-Seam seam tape
: and I'm still chasing down a leak in the left sock.

: This is an important piece of safety gear, and failure of said equipment has
: deadly implicatins, so don't undertake this project unless you're willing
: to pay the price.

: That said, it was a great project. I really enjoyed all of the work, the
: modifying of the pattern, the sewing of the suit, etc., with the exception
: of sealing the seams. That is a major PITA and took as much time as the
: sewing.

: I'll be putting this up on its own page soon, but, for now, it's on the Black
: Dog Kayaks bbs.

Interesting project, not one I'd try, hate sewing

From the picture doesn't look like you've got gaskets on the neck/wrists?
