I have lovely red Meander coveralls for a medium-build woman (or man - I'm 5'8" and 135 lbs and there's room in the suit). The suit is Cordura with padded knees and elbows and chest pockets (one inside and one outside). Looks great in caving photography and videography. The suit comes authenticated with Florida cave mud (yes, I washed it and scrubbed it and the claystain is there to stay)  The suit is far too hot for the dry caving we do here in Florida. Please make an offer as I have no idea what to charge.  |

The coveralls were worn once in California (granite cave in the Joaquin Valley) and twice here in Florida (Roosevelt and Catacombs). No, I was not naked underneath (very funny).
Michael (my husband) suggests selling for around $100 plus shipping ...

Hello! I'm VERY interested in the suit!  Could you tell me what you paid for it and do you have any pics of it? Does it have the "shazam" material on the elbows, knees and bum area? I will make you a fair offer.  Thanks for any further info!  |

Yes, I have pictures, you can send me an e-mail at sandy@cavesurvey.com and I'll send them to you.
I don't believe the elbows and knees have the Shazam - they are the same material as the rest of the suit.
I paid around $200 for it (new) at the NSS convention in California.

The Meanders are great suits - mine has lasted well for 5 years so far, with the help of some AquaSeal to help keep the butt stitching intact. The lining on mine is peeling off, but it doesn't seem to make much difference to the suit.
FYI - they retail for $135 from IMO. I think they were about $120 back when I got my one.

Thanks NZcaver - I haven't been able to find the receipt. That's why I asked interested folks to make an offer - I don't know what to charge for a barely-used coverall.  |

OK folks - the significant other mentioned that used is usually quite a bit less regardless of the condition of the item .... soooooo
Perhaps $85 plus shipping?
A few people have asked about the size of the suit:
There's a tag on the neck has A2 circled (top line is
12345 bottom ia A00B and an elipse gets the 2 and the A).
Using a seamstress' tape, the back seam of neck to crotch is 39 inches, neck
seam to end of arm is 31 inches, crotch seam to bottom of leg is also 31
inches.
Let me know if you need more information!
Happy caving!
