I have been wanting a dry suit for many years. The Great Lakes can
be pretty chilly anytime other than August! The product was
economical, fit well and good quality.
Excellent suit for kayak fishing in cooler weather. Had mine over a
year now and not a single issue to report. I use mine with the Vapor
Polartec Liner during the really cold months and it's the perfect
combo. There is no other dry suit at this price point with all the
features a kayak fisherman needs. I love it!
Great suit for the price! - Very fast to put on and the material allows
your feet to easily slide into all types of water shoes or boots. The
suit doesn't have suspenders, but I haven't found it to be a problem
- When you properly "burp" the suit and put on a PFD it fits great
and stays in place. The collar is not latex, I found it more
comfortable and doesn't role other latex collars do - The wrist seals
are a little thicker neoprene/latex than that found on other drysuits
and appear like they are less resistant to tearing. As far as sizing:
I'm 5'10" 170 lbs and a Medium is almost a perfect fit.
I was right on the line between a medium and a large. I went with
the large and the fit is quite baggy. The wrist gaskets are neoprene
coated latex and are very comfortable for me. The neck gasket is a
double layer neoprene as described above. It is completely different
than than other neoprene neck gaskets I've tried. For me it was a
very snug fit. Stohlquist offers free neck gasket resizing for the EZ.
I ended up paying the shipping and they have a one month back
log. You need to contact them for an RA before you send it in.
I only test fitted it a couple times and had it in the water once.
Because of the tight neck fit I may have been to rough with it and
a small length of the neck gasket stitching started to rip out.
Hoping all is well and good when I get it back.
Fits to size, sturdy and well made. I use it in the NW and the suit is
an affordable choice for the cold water. Wish it came in other colors
than black, in the direct sunlight when paddling around it does heat up
more than my yellow splash top/dry pants I wear on occasion.
I was looking for a simple, low-frills drysuit for the shoulder seasons
in VT - EZ was an easy sell. I'm 6'7", 240 lbs and the XXL fits
perfectly. The neck gasket takes about 5 minutes to get used to,
but I found it to be infinitely more comfortable than anything else I
tried. Bought the Immersion Research Thickskin to go underneath
and went for a test swim before a windy, late-March paddleboard;
did not feel one bit of the 38 degree water. Wear spots on rear and
knees are much more heavy duty than I thought they would be.
only feature that would be nice are internal suspenders, but that
would drive up the cost - I'll waddle a bit to save $200. A really
great product.
I've been out twice so far with my EZ dry suit, and love it! Seems
very well made, reinforced knees and sturdy zippers. I will use this
suit primarily for fishing the Puget Sound and cold water lakes here
in Washington. There are no pockets on this suit, but I have
enough storage in my pfd. All around quality product, and I would
recommend one for anyone in the market for a economical dry suit.
It's my first dry suit. The neck is a very tight latex with two layers of
latex. I ended up trimming it down to one layer and it's more
comfortable. While on the water I have to stretch the neck gasket
occasionally to get a break from it. Other then that its great! The feet
are somewhat thin. Im hoping they dont wear over time. I joined ACKs
mailing list and received a 15 or 20% off promo code making the suit
cost only $330ish!!! For the price you can't beat it. My only complaint
is the tight neck.
Sizing, I'm an athletic 5'9" and a large is a too baggy. It feels fine but
looks big on me. Overall you can't beat it for the price. I submerged
myself in 40*F water and it worked like a charm! It was a great value
but I imagine a neoprene neck would be much more comfortable the
this suit.
Q:
How would suggest stretching out the neck ? It is very tight like being choked. I don't want to stretch it too much and risk it no longer being waterproof, but I don't like being choked either.
A:
Stohlquist does not recommend stretching the neck, since the latex has excellent memory. Instead, they recommend trimming the neck gasket. This is from Stohlquist: "Appropriate trimming eases donning/doffing, and allows the user to be warm, dry and comfortable from day one. Everyone has a different neck characteristics and size. Trimming not only reduces stress/discomfort on you, but also helps reduce the stresses put on the gasket and their bond to the suit while donning/doffing.
Trim with long bladed, sharp scissors. No swiss-army knife scissors, Exact-o knife, or razor blades, please! For neck gaskets, use the concentric rings found on the gaskets as a cutting line. Cut one ring off, test the fit, and then repeat as needed. Trim wrists very little, if at all. Ankles almost always require aggressive trimming (can need 1" or more). Trim gaskets so they are only "slightlyooo tight, so that you are satisfied with the fit, the comfort, and the restriction of water entry."
Q:
I am 5'9" 190lbs and my jeans are 36" waist 30" length. I can not decide between medium or large. I will be wearing layers for cold water fishing. What size do you recommend? Thanks
A:
I would recommend the large, since you will be wearing layers for cold days. You could fit into the medium, but it would not be comfortable when wearing multiple layers, which is what matters. If you have any other questions please let us know!
