Anyone use dry suits in the Uk, if so any recommendations. What type, make and do they rip easily?

Dry suits are a must if you want to board through the winter, Ive had the same Typhoon dry suit for over 10 years and never ripped it. The seals last 3 to 4 years and cost 15-20 quid each to replace. I would stay away from the booties and go for the ankle seals myself because if your bindings fit you right in your bare feet they will crucify you in booties. Plus you need more lube than you can imagine to get a rubber clad foot in to a rubber binding.

Not from the UK but I really love Bare. Flexible, doesn't leak, tough.

Thanks for the advice, one last question do you recommend the loose fitting suits or the neoprene
