    Default Trade my viking drysuit for a smaller drysuit

    Well I have finally admitted defeat and accepted my drysuit is too large. It is an all black 03 wide viking extreme drysuit I bought new 5 months ago. It was sold to me as a large, but is more like an XL or 2X, while I need more like a medium tall, or something to fit a 6'1" 185lb male. I added an XS scuba thigh pocket. It also has the surveyor hood, and I added an exhaust valve. I'll include the bag, suspenders, beanie, a couple fin keepers, inflator hose etc.

    I'd prefer to trade for something my size with good seals. Mine could probably be trimmed to fit you no problem because I have thinner than XL sized wrists and neck, and they have about 30 dives with plenty of life left. No leaks on the viking either.

    What size feet? I suspect the problem is you got a 3W instead of a 3. I picked up a 3 and probably need a 3W. It is bone dry and fits ok except the boots are too small with my Weezle booties. I would consider trading mine plus cash for yours.

    Hi Ken,
    I may be interested. I'm looking at the size chart and it may be a bit big still it seems. If you don't mind me asking, how does it fit on you and what size do you normally wear?
    Do you make it down to cave country often?
    The boots are size 11-12 I think. I wear a size 11 normally, and wear a pair of hiking wicking socks with heavy wool hiking socks over top and they aren't tight, probably room for a size or two more. It doesn't seem to be marked on the tag or boots themselves.

    I just worry a wide to non wide might still be big and I'd rather not make the same mistake twice.

    Okay, I'm looking to sell this now. Here are some photos I took a few days ago:

    Aside from regluing a corner of the pocket the suit is in near perfect condition! I'll take $700 for it. I'm in Jax currently and could leave it/meet up somewhere in cave country if you are interested.

    I'll include the inflator hose, bag, repair kit, suspenders, head beanie, and even give you a refill of talc!
