[...] One of the things about paddling is that you should not be afraid to be in the water, no matter the temperature, even if it is 34 degrees. That is why you wear a drysuit, to keep warm in water that cold. The photo above is testing out my new drysuit, an Immersion Research Double “D” (click here). [...]

Completely dry from neck to feet. The DD makes a huge difference for both comfort and safety in cold weather, huge props to IR!

Do you guys make women’s sizes? Could you custom make them?

I am looking at buying a dry suit and it seems your suit has the most features (i.e. breathable fabirc, overskirt) for the best price. The other drysuits I have looked at are the NRS Mission drysuit and Kokatat’s GMER suit. (http://kokatat.com/product_detail.asp?code=gmer).
My question is when it comes to the “breathability” and the quality of the seam taping, which is the best way to judge this?
How would you rate your fabric breathability compared to NRS or the GORETEX that Kokatat uses? I have looked into renting your drysuits but can find no one in Seattle, WA area that offers your suit as a rental option.
The bottom line is that Kokatat, I have been told, is the way to go but they want about 20% more for their drysuits then yours.
Thanks and any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I want to know if this dry suit is made in america(usa/canada/mexico).
Thx
13 John Weld // Nov 5, 2009 at 5:11 pm
Hey Vincent,
These are made in China- I think Kokatat makes theirs in the US if you are looking for a domestic manufacturer.

I asked that because the price in the usa is cheaper(820 and no taxes if ship outside of the state) than in Canada(canada is 950+13% taxes). So if the suit was made in USA i would not have to pay for duties/brokerage fees and taxes because of the NAFTA.

Hello John,
Are you guys planning any new patterns for your 2010 dry suits? Not to say I don’t like plaid but I really liked the Camo. Will guys ever bring that back?
16 John Weld // Dec 7, 2009 at 2:34 pm
Hey Chris,
We will run Plaid through 2010, and to be honest, I’m not sure what we’ll do after that. I would say, though, that will probably be a couple of years before we bring camo back.

I am trying to decide on my drysuit and yours is looking really good. I like chris have narrowed it down t the misson GFEr vand yours. Living in yellowknife I never get to see anything or try it on. Most of my paddling is done on cold water and I need a dry suit as great slave lake is chilly at the best of times Cheers greg

Hey Greg,
feel free to give me call if you’d like to discuss features of our suit- this would be a no-obligation call, and I can discuss the benefits/features of the IR suit vs the benefit/features of other manufacturers suits.
My number here is 814-702-4236. Thanks,
