The OS systems drysuits DO have a built in Spray Skirt Cover to reduce water intake into the kayak.

www.ossystems.com/surface/sprtks.html

They also offer Full Custom/Semi-Custom Sizing and
Semi-Custom Sizing - Lengthen or shorten any two (arms, torso, legs).

OS Systems doesn't need to advertise as they primarily supply Coast Guard, Military,
Governmental Search and Rescue operations (SAR) , etc. etc.

Might be worth a second look for many kayakers

I know there are many alternatives to NRS, Kokotat and Stohlquist and just because they are made in a foreign country doesn't immediately taint the workmanship. I love having options.........thanks Sauli

Hey, my sea kayak was made in South Africa from an Oscar Chalupsky design. My alliance goes toward great products regardless of where they are located.
