(2/12/02) How Many dry suit divers are out there? what kind of dry suit do you own?

[Okiecaver]

I've 2 for different uses.

Viking Xtreme with C-Bear Jumpsuit and cabelas 2 pc undies, SiTech P-valve. I use it primarily for travel and warmer water.

Just got a Northern Diver Tech. 8mm Compressed to 4. Huge pockets, SiTech dryglove system, apeks valves, reflector patches for low vis, SiTech p-valve, guard flap over the zip, custom fit, along with ND's new Flectalon Undies.

The material is stretchy so it's snug and hyper streamlined, kevlar patches all over. It'll be my tech/wreck/cave suit.

I have DUI CLX-450 with kevlar military kneepads. It's a great drysuit for wreck diving, very comfortable and easy to get into and out of.

I'm buying Weezle undergarments.

I have a Gates VSN Pro 1100. It's rear entry with latex hood, neck seal and arm seals. The boots on it are great and has never leaked. It is a trilam that will stretch 200% or so. Most trilams are nylon and wont stretch at all. That's why I like the Gates. I'd definately buy one again. The material is pretty tough to. Compressed is probably stronger but I'd think it's like the DUI clx 450 but with stretch in it......

I'm looking at a Compressed neo and a Viking rubber suit now. But those are for wreck and contamination use. Would wear the Gates over them any day.

Leisure pro is the only one I know who sells them and they don't show up on the online catalog. I got mine when a dealer quit carrying the line. I had been looking for one for 2 years and when it popped up I grabbed it. Nobody I asked carried them or they didn't know if they could get it in.

OH, under suits are a Bare Polar Extreme and a DUI 400g thinsulate. I also have about 6 sets of Poly pro tops and bottoms in different weights. Also 2 poly pro farmer johns. Makes outfitting for different temps a breeze.

My DUI CLX-450 should be arriving any day now. This will be my first drysuit! It's needed now that I'm living in New Yawk Citee.
Not that quarry diving in Ohio was a picnic. Also, does anybody know where I can order Weezle undergarmets in the US?

I'm happy with my Bare Trilam ATR-HD. It's self-doning, and with the capability of wearing whatever level of "undies" that are required - I love it.

What don't you like about your catalyst?
