what made you change from the surf dry? Id be interested to hear a comparison.BudhaNl wrote:I've no experience with either suit myself. I've kited the last 2 winters with an OR Surf dry suit. I've just replaced this with a Soul which is supposed to show up coming weekend.
I really like the integrated hood on the surf dry, also the fact that it's more wetsuit-like. The 2 layers really help in reducing water up your ankles/arms. However, the outer layer of the surf dry absorbs water so it stays wet. The wind will subsequently make you lose body heat when on shore between 2 sessions, which I find uncomfortable.davesails7 wrote:what made you change from the surf dry?

I agree, VP. I rode a drysuit the other day that had the built in rubber socks on it. You have to wear the booties (round toe only, no split toe possible with that design) over the socks and I didn't like the loss of feeling with the board.vp wrote:I think it would be tough to put those socks in any bootie and still be able to feel the board.whabbits wrote:...I have seen the Soul with socks and the version with socks does not have crushed neoprene for the socks. They are made of the same material as the pants of the suit. The version with socks is much faster to put on and off and keeps your feet warmer.
The downside is no split toe and I LOVE split toe booties.
