Winter Ride Wetsuit - Drysuit

Postby Damien » Sat Nov 23, 2013 6:58 pm

Hello guys,

Post also in discussion on the mail group, I post it here too.

What about enjoying the nice north winter wind those next month ?

We could buy some taobao drysuit and hit the water to breakout this boring winter for a couple of thousands rmb.

Wind is usually much better on the winter.

OOOOOOOO yeah drysuits!!! I am in Qingdao today and it is windy! Problem is its 0degC.

I made some investigations into what is available - for drysuits these NPX Lucifer suits looks like a good option:

https://www.asap-direct.com/index.php?p ... ng=english

I can arrange for a discount on these if we go a group purchase.

It doesn't stop there though, I started looking into heating systems used by divers in the artic. All pretty expensive, but for keeping the cold out of you hands and feet the best heating systems that I have seen are for motorcyclists:

Heated Gloves:

Heated Socks:

Water proof socks:

I am running out of reasons not to kite this winter, especially with all this cool gear that is availalble!

Hey there,

For the ones interested to the drysuit, we will try to get a group price over this website Andrew found: https://www.kingofwatersports.com/categ ... -c649.html

They can deliver in 7 days for free in China. You should check the price without tax (about -20%) and we may get an extra discount if we order several ones.

Let me know which one you would be interested, personally the NP Lucifer :).
