Mobby's Armor Shell self-entry. Love it! With Thinsulate undergarment. Have tried/had several self entries, like this style the best.

A Finnish Ursuit (trilam) with front entry. And I love it. A bit like the DUI but with sturdy boots - and half the price!

Hi chrinydive:
I have dove with the TLS-350 and I think it is a nice dry suit. With the proper undergarments I was warm and comfortable. I have chosen the CLX-450 because it is made of a tougher material. At least the outer shell portion of the suit anyway. This makes it suitable to use on wreck dives and penetration dives or anywhere that good abrasion resistance is required. I also like that it has extra material around the knees, elbows and shoulders. I like the swivel inlet valve and the low profile exhaust valve.
Also at 59 170lbs I use an off the shelf stock size and get a great fit. The stock suit comes in black only and thats my favorite color. So the whole suit was a win win for me.
This is not to say that TLS-350 isnt a good suit because I think it is. And the 350s come in different colors which gives you the freedom to choose and customize your suit at a reasonable price.

Using a DUI TLS350 self entry, Kevlar knee and elbow pads, and Weezle Extreme plus undies. 100+ dives in this thing and by adjusting undies have used it in 38-75°F water. Love it. Currently have dry gloves from Diving Concepts on order (used a trial version in 40°F water a couple of weeks ago... must have!!

Thanks for your input. Hey...black is my fav color too. At least for my dive gear.
I want get into penetration after the proper training and experince, and believe I may appreciate a more "sturdy" suit. I need dbl check a few more measurements, but I think I fit a stock medium spot on, which would be plus.
Thanks again,
Chris
