Great deal on drysuit

I went onto e-bay and found a used gore-tex Military Drysuit manufactured by Mustang Industries. It needs some minor patching in the gore-tex feet, and a new neck gasket, but otherwise appears to be in good shape. It fits just right, with enough room for rolling. For only $56 plus $11.55 shipping, it is a steal. It is an attractive olive drab, with a relief zipper, and pockets on the chest, thighs and forearms. For those looking for a good deal there are other ones that are new, and need ankle gaskets or feet. The new ones seem to go for under $200. Not bad for gore-tex. You just have to live with olive drab, and a different zipper configuration (up the chest, over the shoulder, behind the neck, over the other shoulder, and down the chest).
