Choosing a drysuit over a wetsuit for a winter job in Seattle was the right call
Last December, I had a job inspecting a dock in Elliott Bay. The water was 45 degrees, and I had to pick between my old 7mm wetsuit or spending $3,500 on a new drysuit. I bought the drysuit, and it was worth every penny. I was down for over an hour and stayed completely dry and warm, while my buddy in a wetsuit was shivering after twenty minutes. Anyone else work in cold water and have a strong preference on this?

My old wetsuit works fine for quick jobs in Puget Sound.
