I have a USIA deluxe that uses the bilam fabric for most of the suit and the techniflex for the joints. The bilam is crinkly (if that is the right word), a stiff white backing bonded to nylon, the bioflex is soft rubber bonded to nylon. The techniflex fabric feels completely superior to the bilam, much more flexible and supple. I will see how long this suit lasts, I have had it less than a year, but my next suit will be a techniflex.

can you take a photo of the bioflex part?

Not my best effort, trying to hold and shoot. The dark rubber material is the techniflex, the white is the bilam. The techniflex is much heavier and softer.

ok thank seem different then the hollis one.

i would like to konw if wrist seal is stick on the techniflex material?

 

[cannon fodder]

The arm and wrist of the suit are bilam and the seal is a si-tech quick cuff with a standard latex seal.

I have the USIA Techniflex and I love it. It is not as thin as say the DUI TLS 350 but it is a solid suit that will last me for many many years to come. The material that makes up the suit is a bit thicker but flexible enough to easily move in above or below the surface. I am sold on the USIA Techniflex and would highly recommend it to anyone.
