    Default What should I buy...

    I dive a DUI CLx450...
    Very Durable..

    I decided on the diagonal front entry zipper... Easy to manage..
    I had the back zipper, over the shoulders and hated it..

    I chose the Rock Boots, because I didn't trust walking on the built on boot
    and cutting into it.. Oops, there goes the 'dry' suit...

    I also chose the Zip seals... for both the neck and wrists... A quick field
    swap out should you tear a seal..
    I've used Ace's method of dick tape. Didn't work too well, but I was able
    to dive.. So it worked for the day..

    I also bought custom made, verses the standard made.. Cost a little more
    but it was cut for me.. Now $$ is a concern, I say rent.. Use Depends
    and enjoy your experience with the suit..

    Oh, and don't carry your cell phone in your dry suit... but that's another story..

    LMFAO!!! That reminds me of one other thing you should be aware of, the term dry suit is a bit incorrect, they are dryer than a wetsuit, but you will get a little water here and there. You would be shocked at how much your sweat adds up.

    Depends.....ummmm, I'll hold it, which sucks, but not Depends...I can't even imagine going to the store to make that purchase.
