I saw this on eBay tonight and did the "buy it now" for $250 + $15 shipping.
Kokatat Gore-Tex Dry Suit - Men's Size XL
This Kokatat Gore-Tex Dry Suit has been well cared for and used for only 1.5 years. Seals are also in good condition.

Well Roman, I think you got taken. I feel obligated to take that drysuit off your hands for whatever you have into it. It's what I can do for the team..ya know.

Looks good and it sounds like a really good deal, but does it have a tunnel? It's hard to tell from the pictures? You may get a little water in your boat (coming through the top of your sprayskirt) if there's not tunnel. But I have seen some kayakers paddle with drysuits like this. Actually, it looks like the drysuit Dave Smith has, so maybe he can comment.

I had planned to buy a new one with an overskirt, but I figured I'd give this a shot. I read on BoaterTalk that you can use something like this to seal it off.

Yeah...It's an XL, so I'm hoping that's just an optical illusion. If not, someone did some serious customizing!

One of my ex employers wore an extra large. He was 6.4+ and 270+ pounds. He had plenty of room to move around and not get bound up in any way. If its too large, you should be able to get your money back at least.
Being in Arkansas, we don't have the option of trying before buying either. You got to learn as you go. The price was more than right however!

Hey Renee Dave's out of town but it does look like his which does not have a tunnel but sounds like it was good price like turbo said even if it doesn't fit you shouldn't have a hard time selling it on this board.

I will go ahead and offer to help you get rid of it if it is too large, but looks like Joe has first crack.
