Anyone have any experience with this dry suit? There are a few on eBay right now and I can't find any owner info on them. They look bomber. It looks like they come with the CCS neck which I have mixed feelings about. I checked with Mustang and you can replace it with a standard latex gasket. I believe these came with either the neoprene or latex wrists and I can can't tell what the dry suits on eBay come with. It doesn't have a tunnel but I don't kayak. Any insight would be great. Especially since I already ordered one and am trying to gauge how prepared I should be to regret it.

I chickened out. I cancelled my order. I finally got a few more pictures out of the seller. It looks like the one I had ordered was made in 2013. I can change or replace gaskets as needed but I have not idea how it was stored for the last 12 years. A year or two of questionable storage may not be a big deal but 12 years could cause some issues. My biggest concern was the zipper. It probably would've been fine but there were just a few too many concerns.

Update - I bought a Mustang Survival MSD674GB. It's the US made version and was surplus. I replaced the CCS gasket with a Kokatat. The CCS leaked like crazy when testing. It is bomber. Double knees and seat. A Codura like fabric in all high wear and double areas. Built in knee pads and suspenders. It's durable and dry. If you want a bomber semidry suit then the CCS neck would be fine. I think I am under $400 all in with the new neck gasket which I replaced myself.
