Reinforcing drysuit

Hi all,

got my drysuit with the crotch strap aera in bad looking, getting more and more thin because of the crotch strap, finning and scootering against it...

how do you reinforce this aera? I used aquasure on the X part between the legs and a softer crotch strap. I think about using a 2mm neoprene part glued on there and on the shoulder too to resist for longer time.

Thanks, have good time underwater


David

Hi David,

I ended up putting a bunch of aquaseal (same as aquasure) on that area to patch up the leaks I had from wear from the scooter.
I think I need a new drysuit though anyways, my TLS will be 6 years old this year ... will switch to a 50/50 CLX/CF200 next time. That should help for this.

Cheers

Cris

Hi David!!

The DUI TLS350 Explorer MM have a neoprene patch in the scrotch strap area. I think that a good solution.

Another solution is to cover the scrotch strap with a tubular piece of neoprene or with a piece of cycle innertube.

Best,
DG

Thanks all for your answers

I'll try inner tube around crotch strap and aquasure on the drysuit.


Cheers.
