O'Neil Assault Hybrid vs. O'Neil Boost Drysuits

[Lawdog]

Anybody have any experience with either the Assault Hybrid or Boost Drysuits? I was wondering what you would wear under the Assault Hybrid since the bottom half is neoprene and do you get cold wearing it. With the Boost you could pretty much wear whatever you want under it to keep warm. Any insight would be appreciated.

I have a Safara full neoprene type DRYSUIT and all i usually were is a dry pair of shorts and a tshirt and i'm good.

[Lawdog]

Are the full neoprene drysuits just like full wetsuits?

[Mikey]

Yeah basically with better seals.They fit better if you want the airodynamics but bag style let you wear more clothes underneith as well as a lifevest under. I wear one outside just like with wetsuit.

lawdog here's my glamour shot of me in my boost suit that just arrived yesterday. It seems well made and about as comfortable as an watertight suit can be. I'll give you an update after I actually see if it keeps me dry tomorrow!

haha i like it!
what size is that suit and how tall and heavy are you?
the chart says i'm in the large range but i'm not a big guy and i don't know if i should go xl. some have said go a size bigger but thats the biggest size they make!
i'm 5'9" 175

I'm 5'9" 155# and the suit is a medium which is rated for 5'9"-5'11" 150-170# so I'm on the low end of the range and it fits comfortably. I think anybody smaller than me will be able to use it too. Doesn't seem like there would be any harm in having it too big but what do I know since I haven't used it yet LOL!

what kind of head gear you got on there? i think i'll stick with the large thenif your med fits you well

I couldn't resist the O'neil thinskins hood. If nothing else it's a style issue haha!
