Wore my Gill Dinghy Drysuit in a race on a gusty day yesterday and had my first capsize.The Gill drysuit I bought from Wetsuit Outlet had never been submerged before and even though I thought it was designed and sold on the premise of keeping me dry, it started filling with water and pulling me down in the middle of the river Thames,The safety boat crew had to really struggle to pull me into the rescue craft as the water up past my knees inside the suit really weighted me down.I also needed assistance to get from safety boat onto jetty because of weight of water that was inside "drysuit".Spectators at the club were surprised with how much water was inside my "drysuit".Instead of protecting me, this Gill Dinghy Drysuit failed to keep water out, it resulted in me having hypothermia and could have dragged me to the bottom of the Thames.Regarding reply from WSO and reading some of the other negative reviews I think Excellent Customer Aftercare should be explained to themThe extreme situation of a hardly worn, less than a year old "drysuit" filling with water and pulling the wearer down the first time it is in water is not acceptable.
