Should I buy a dry suit?
We're regularly asked if a dry suit is a necessary item of kit for the ocean racer. In our view, especially if sailing across a 'cold ocean' (i.e. at high latitudes), having a dry suit is an excellent 'insurance policy' if you are unfortunate enough to find yourself overboard and away from the boat. A dry suit will add critical time to the short survival window you can expect in cold water. The Ursuit MPX Midlayer Dry Suit weighs just 1,000 grammes and packs away into a bag the size of a large travel towel or small sleeping bag! It's worn in conjunction with your existing foul weather gear and mid layer thermals. If buying new is too expensive, why not browse dry suits in our secondhand classified ads. |
