Okay, so it took me about 1.5 minutes to decide I like the idea of the new SOUL drysuit.

I can even see myself using it skiing/snowboarding/snowmachining or winter snow-kiting on sloppy days. I’m coastal here, and we get great snow followed by rain on some storm-cycles. HHHMMMMM??!

Anyone have a thought on this product??

Please, can we wait til some of you have actually touched Ocean Rodeo’s newest drysuit, the SOUL!?! before we compare it to NPX’s offering? It would be so obvious to do so, but let’s wait until we’ve tested it!

How does it zip up? Can’t tell from the pictures. We need more picture of entry and neck seal. Looks great from what I can see! Love the pee zip, it’s about time!!

Hi Pete!!

As you can see in the product gallery the suit zip is around the shoulders, from breast to breast. This is new patented technology from Ocean Rodeo called Captive Zip Technology. Once the jacket is zipped up (with a non dry zipper) the zip is full hidden.

Note, in the image below the zipper is open and the neck seal is pulled off and hanging down in front of the suit.

Hi John,
Very interesting! So you pull the zipper car from one breast up and around your shoulders behind your neck and then down to the other breast? Is it very difficult to pull it behind your neck? I assume you have a long pull cord on it, I don’t have very good flexibility reaching behind my neck. How is the comfort compared to the Pyro Pro? I WOULD LOVE TO TRY ONE ON!

same set up as the surf dry.  If you can scratch the back of your own neck, you can pull this zipper.

I agree, but why are pee zips horizontal? Why are they not vertical like every other pair of pants?

Deliberate incongruence. To make sure the ladies don’t buy it.
