contemplating a new Drysuit

[DetectorGuy]

Those Vikings are a nice suit (as much as I hate to admit that). I have a back zip DUI TLS and I like it a lot. It was the cheapest and most bare bones of the DUI line about 3 years ago. Then I had it pimped out a bit with 2 thigh pockets, knee and elbow pads, and zip seals in the neck and wrists. The zip seals are the big attraction for me, as I would hate to miss a dive just because I tore a wrist seal. With the zip seals, you just pull the old one off and zip in a new one... 5 minutes tops. The thigh pockets add a little more drag but not noticeable. I used to hate the back zip part of mine for the fact that it would limit the solo diving. I soon got over that and found a way to hook the zipper in the mirror of the Jeep and get in/out by my self. I would be hesitant my self (just my opinion) about getting the DUI CLX 450 as it takes longer to dry. I like the tri-lam suits where you can lay it on the hood of your truck and 1/2 hour later its dry as a bone. Combine a tri-lam with Weezle Wear undergarments and I think its a pretty good set up. In my opinion, the DUI TLS 350 front zip is about the best and that is probably what my next suit will be.
