I bought a spare Meander PVC suit a couple of years ago as soon as I heard they were to be discontinued. As I understand it, the main reason for their disappearance is a general European ban on PVC for environmental/health reasons. In any event, I do not know of a suitable alternative. :-(

Ouch...

Does anyone know of a good replacement? Mine has patches on top of patches (quite literally!). I found one that I'll be able to borrow from a friend who rarely uses it, but I would like to find a replacement for mine.

Hi,

This - sadly - is saying that Meander has decided not to try and resume
the manufacturing of their PVC suits. (I think some of their
manufacturing equipment burned down earlier?)

Cheers,
David

Liebe Freunde,

nun ist es definitiv so weit :  Das Meander PVC Kombi ist Geschichte.
Eine Alternative ist nicht in Sicht. (Allerdings hat es noch einzelne
Stücke am Lager, so ziemlich die letzten.)

Hier die offizielle Mitteilung, die heute per e-mail kam

I am so sorry to inform you, that we finally decided to end production
of CRIOU PVC coveralls.
The _main_ reason is the old, always problematic technology in welding
process.
  ......
With my best regards,  Gustav

Chers Amis,
ça y est - les combis PVC de Meander ne sont plus fabriqués. Pour
l'instant il n'y a pas d'alternative. (Par contre il en a encore
quelgues pièces en stock - plus ou moins les derniers)

ici le méssage officiel, reçu aujourd'hui par e-mail:
