Drysuit: BARE Ultra Dry Vs. O'Neill Boost

[DieselPWR]

I am torn between these two.

I can get the BARE for $299 or the Boost for $349. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Have you looked at the Barefoot Int 505 drysuit?

I have now, what do you think about the Barefoot vs the other two?

I've heard nothing but good about anything from Barefoot Int.

I have the O'Neill Boost. Big and roomy with room for layers. Quality stuff there. My buddy broke the neck seal over his big head ...they replaced it for free.

Had the boost. Used it and loved it! Big, roomy, warm, dry, comfy to wear, not much else to say.

I have had my Bare for 4 1/2 years and its still going strong. Just store it inside and apply Seal saver to the seals and it will last you a long time.

I paid 250.00 for mine at Grizzy Sports. It's a good investment too.

We like the O'Neill.

My Bare drysuit has been excellent. It went 6 years before needing an ankle seal replaced. I sent it back a year ago and suggested they replace them all. They looked it over and said to only do the one, the rest are fine. So it has now lasted seven seasons and only cost about $35 besides the original $250.

I have the boost and the reason I the boos t is the neoprene neck. It is much more comfortable on my neck. Once you the try the others you will understand. That being said I have not tried the bare, but I did a few others.

I tired on the Boost and thought the neck was pretty snug, so I can't imagine the how the BARE feels. I think I will go with the Boost. Thanks all.

The others are as tight around your neck as they are around the ankles and wrist. The one caveat is that the neoprene neck can let some water pass on hard falls but it is minimal. Good choice

By the way I have a bro in law in Aurora, Mike Kolman ? I know big town.

[DieselPWR]

Nope, don't know him. It is pretty big.

Did you get your ballast install finished?
