Typhoon Racer Drysuit
In this review we have given our first impressions of this suit and how it preformed in this case hatter3 is our tester we will add to this review periodically as hatter3 uses it
The first thing that you will notice with this suit is that it’s a nice cut and shape it has an elasticised waist so the suit does not feel baggy when worn and hugs the waist.
The wear areas around the bum and knees have an extra layer of protective material.
This is a front entry suit so the main zip is the front of the suit it has the nice touch of a flap to protect the zip at the front it is in bright red and dark blue again these colours complement each other and would be easy to see in a rescue situation.
It has latex seals on the neck and the wrists these sometimes require stretching with hot and cold water or trimming to get that perfect fit for the individual
The built in socks are heavy duty latex as well which will keep all the water out.
It is Important to remember to wear some sort of protective footwear over these socks to protect against any sharp objects such as small stones from puncturing the latex .
After a paddle for a couple of hours I asked hatter3 his opinions on a few aspects of the suit his answers are below.
How does the suit feel ?.It feels very comfortable both in and out of the water
Did you have to adjust anything on the suit before using ?. I just stretched the neck seals with hot water a little bit .
How did you find the neck and wrist seals ?.I have no problem at all with them they are very comfortable and keep all the water out
Was you dry when you removed your suit ?.Yes totally dry all over
Would you change anything with the design of the suit? .no it fits me great and does exactly what it’s supposed to do its spot on .
This has shown to be a very good suit the retail cost is £249.aprox.
Thank you to hatte3 for agreeing to our review on this suit .
This review will be added to in time .
