I love this drysuit! Here’s my reasoning/review/comparison to the Charger along with some pictures: Having always found the womens drysuits I’ve tried on/used being not the best fit or having a specific feature I don’t like that led me to for about 2 years wearing the Nookie Charger (mens) drysuit.
