used dry suit..good idea? or bad?

I would try to find out if the suit is a one that was purchased "off the rack" or was custume made to fit the owner. If the suit was custume made, the divestore from which it was ordered through might have a record on file as to the "bodily dimensions" the suit was made to.

I myself can not wear an "off the rack" drysuit, therefore, I had mine custume made. Yes, I still have a copy of the "bodily dimensions" that DUI used in making the suit. If and when I am ready to sell, I can show this to the potential buyer of the suit.

You must also consider if you will be wearing undergarments with the suit. When the suit is custume made, this is all taken into consideration prior to the suit being made.

Bottom line, you get what you pay for. If money is an issue, dive wet another year and save the bucks for buying a suit that you really want and will be happy with.
