Just dropped 2k on one of these dry suits.. Had never heard of the company until I went into one of the local shops.. Was just curious if anyone has used one of these suits, or knows someone who has one.

Haven’t seen their newer suits, but rep is good. Best of luck with your new toy. I have 3 suits, 1 Andys, 1 Bear, and a Whites. Love all three of them.

Hey Guys,


I really like my USIA Dry Suit now that it is a dry suit. When I pool tested it there were two leaks. One at each valve where it is glued to the suit.


The best way to test is to get in the pool with your suit on then close the exhaust valve fill the suit with air like a baloon. then have a buddy roll you around looking for leaks.


enjoy your suits and stay dry and warm.
