Updated November 15, 2024
Getting a good fit in a drysuit has always been challenging. Since most of the divers using them have been men, companies have historically made the shapes and sizing more suitable for them. When there was a question about how to configure and design them, it was safer for the margin of error to be in favor of men’s bodies. A few of the smart manufacturers have seen the light and are now creating suits specifically with women in mind. They have overhauled their patterns for the size and shape of the torso, arms, and legs of the female form. Some have even reorganized the positions of zippers, pockets, and other functional components to be more suitable for women, as well.
The selected drysuits below are the best examples on the market representing these design upgrades. There is a range of suits taking into consideration materials and pricing for recreational and technical levels. In the descriptions, each model has some bare-bones specifications, pros and cons, links, and a video. I suggest taking a look at the video to get the best idea of the important aspects of each. At the end is a comparison table with some key features, pricing, and a rating.
If you have any questions or concerns, please use the comments section at the bottom. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
