Has anyone tried the Eagle Drysuit (baggy)? / Pro Ski Coach Water Ski Forum

I'm looking to pick up a baggy drysuit, and having trouble finding much in the way of feedback or reviews on the (relatively new) Eagle drysuit.
Anyone here had any experience w/ them??
TIA,
Dave

I am not familar with the Eagle drysuit. My drysuit is by Adrenaline and I swear by it. I don't think there's a better one out there for the money. Here's a link:

Davemac,

I just tested an Eagle Baggy Drysuit in Houston on Tuesday. I was impressed. The biggest thing I loved about it was the fact that it is a front zip suit. This way you don't have to rely on your buddies to get you in and out of it. The zipper is also a rubber material rather than a metal zipper. There are two links below: One has a picture of me in the suit so you can see what it looks like for real, and the other is a link to our online store where you can read the specs on the suit. I am more comfortable selling this suit than the O'Neill Drysuits (1-because Eagle is a waterski company, and 2-the front zip and comfort).

Anyway, hope this helps. LEt me know if I can help in any way.

Now if they can only put in another front zipper, just a bit lower, it'll make it easier to deal with that last beer I just had...

How about the hybrid suits? I thought it might be better to not have the baggy legs when slalom skiing.(?)

Can anybody comment on how good they work?

I think the term baggy has more to do with the suit being like a plastic baggie than it has to do with the suit fitting like a t-shirt that is four sizes too big. When you jump in the water, a great deal of the extra air is force up toward you neck, you tug on the collar a little and the suit (particularly the legs) fits much closer than you would expect it would.

I've a hybrid suit, but is old now (10years) I love my suit, it's made of a wet suit material with a zipper on the back side, not the best since I always need help getting the zipper open. Fits like a wet suit.
My only complain is that water does come through the leg/wrist seals (I had my seals replaced) and on big falls I'm pretty wet, but still way warmer than a wet suit. The only other issue is the suit size is a size too big for my frame. Make sure to size it well.
I do have a baggy dry suit as well, nice to be able to wear sweats under neath the suit, the only thing is the seals are extremely hard to pull out, it hurts my hands, feet and neck after skiing but it keeps me dry:o)
My 2cents......
