This nice weather won't last for long, so I need to get the feet replaced on my Typhoon drysuit.
Can anyone recommend a repairer in the Reading / Oxford type area?
Thanks

It is possible to do it yourself if you order the feet and the glue. It is fiddly and takes a bit of time to set up, but not particularly difficult.
I turn everything inside out, and pad out the leg with a childs beach bucket and rolls of newspaper to get it tight/smooth. Position the 'sock' exactly, then roll back to expose the 2 areas for gluing. Apply glue, then roll into place. Then curse because you've got a small fold. Quickly unroll and adjust! |

Mine went to purple sails but thats not in Oxford or Reading! Had every seal replaced, reasonable cost and very well done ------------- http://www.highlandtopper.com - For Topper boats & spares in Scotland-highlandtopper.com |

| Ihave found Typhoon themselves excellent. Very good service and quick return. Even replaced the whole dry suit when they thought the material was faulty. |

Thanks for the replies.
Might just contact Typhoon directly and get it sent up there ------------- |
