Yes, they are manufactured in Lakewood WA. Dooley bogught the company
(and the name) about 3 years ago.
I never heard about a British connection, although yesterday Dennis
Block mentioned one also. Dennis, where did that info come from?
I've been to the factory in Lakewood and sniffed the glue...they're
for real. They made some repairs for me also and I was pleased with
the work.

Interesting. Either there are two different Diamond drysuits - a West coast
USA one by a company that may or may not still be in biz, and a English
one, or the guy who was trying to sell me one was wrong - he swore it was
English and that the he got it from actually shop imports them.
Then,l possibly, the West coast place is actually just importing them
rather than making them? It did have that nice BMD zip I associate with
Eng. products, perhaps wrongly.
Can anyone clarify this?
