Parkway was, at it's peak, one of the largest custom wetsuit makers in the world. Sadly, when the president passed on, the company fell apart (rest in piece dear friend).

They imported Poseidon products into the US, and brought the very first commercial dry suit here.

Later (this part I have no direct knowledge of), they came out with their own line...

Recently, I have seen the name on new wetsuits, but don't know if someone bought the name, or just decided to use it. They are using the same neoprene as XS scuba, but I don't know if it is now a second line for them or the makers of suit for XS scuba are doingtheir own thing.

I hope Larry or Joe read this and fill in the gaps.

Today, I would not even consider buy one, as there are many good suppliers still around to get a suit from.

That would be something to stay away from. Frank was a very good friend...hard for me to look at that name, knowing what happened later...
