    You can carefully trim the membrane neck and wrist seals bit by bit until they are not too tight. They are usually conical in shape. The trick is to not go too far.

      That's a good idea, especially the neck one 👍😁

      @@MoreThanJustaCleaner - Also...as the neck membrane is exposed to UV it is best to give a regular spray of silicone after each use, before storing. I have even used coconut oil which works well.

    Can't go wrong with a bit of army surplus kit. I love my Altberg Defender boots civilian equivalent is about £160. I paid about £35/40 for grade 1 surplus that looked new. Had them for about 5 years I think and still going strong. The review of them is possibly my most popular video.

      I've been using army surplus for a few years now - coats, sleeping bags, bivvy bags, cook kit - all built to last and a fraction of the banded goods costs 👍😁

    Your dry suit neck and wrist seals will glide on better if you put a little Talcum Powder in there first.
    If the suit has ankle seals, instead of built in socks/boots, use Talc on them too

    Did you want this dry suit to extend your kayaking season, or for some other reason?
    I considered one to extend my kayak season. I first tried a cheap wet suit. It was really tight also (said large or extra large, but was medium at best). On a sunny day in early spring (the only days I'd be kayaking) I found it really hot wearing it, difficult to put on and take off. I hear a dry suit would be even hotter, so really it would be used for winter kayaking. But I think I've changed my mind on wanting one.

    • @MoreThanJustaCleaner
      @MoreThanJustaCleaner  Рік тому +1

      I've had a drysuit for a while now and yes it does make winter kayaking a lot more enjoyable 😁👍
      This one was so cheap I just couldn't pass it up figuring I'd at least have a waterproof suit even if it wasn't watertight.

      @@MoreThanJustaCleaner It probably gets colder here, although not this past winter. I think winter kayaking here could be pretty dangerous, and I think it's a lot more appealing to be comfortable paddling. I'd probably be over heated paddling with a dry suit on even in winter, and it would be a pain to take on & off. I do really miss paddling for several months though. I'm starting to go earlier in spring. I just plan on staying very close to shore, and ideally, in waist deep water as much as possible just in case. I also only like to paddle on sunny days. The only issues so far is the birds are really aggressive in early spring likely with their nests. Last year a bald eagle swooped 20 feet over my head and circled me which I didn't get with in a 100 feet of, and swans are yaking from a far distance. I read 10 years ago of the guy that swans attacked him, capsizing his kayak and he drowned in the very cold water.

      Membrane Dry Suit.
      Warm underlays in winter.
      Lightweight top and bottoms in summer ie something like a base layer, used for hiking etc.
      The wrong fitting wetsuit could chafe under your arms, when paddling and if too thick could quite easily, cause you to dehydrate.
      If it’s too hot for a Dry Suit with a thin base layer.
      Your probably better off wearing just your paddling clothes ie Rash vest and shorts etc.
      Your PFD will stop any light wind.
      If not wear a wind proof top.
      Enjoy the freedom of wearing summer clothes, if the conditions allow.

    It is made only to use underwater or it can be use for rain? It looks good but the issue with cheap stuff is the durability.

      This is only cheap because it's army surplus. It's made for the armed forces and it's robust. But because we have a distrust of cheap gear, I felt the need to test it 👍😊
