Anyone have experience with the Bare Sentry Tech Drysuit?
 
I have one. I was one of the beta testers, so I abused it for a year, including a bunch of 2-3 hour pool sessions in it with little to no rinsing. Main body of the suit is still in great shape. I probably have 150 hours in it at this point.

I did have to recently replace the the zipper for a sideways tooth, but I'm pretty sure that was from late summer diving in Texas, and having it draped over the side of a truck when it was 105 degrees outside.

I also replaced the latex seals that came with it for a ring system with silicone seals, but that was a preventative measure, the original latex seals were fine at the time.

Only minor complaint is the one-size fits all suspenders are ridiculously long. Im 5'10, 200 lbs and have them cinched up as short as they will go, and they are still too long by a couple inches.

Oh, I have the back zip version, which is the pro rather than the tech.
 
I have one. I really like mine. It fits comfortability. It is pretty easy with the front zip to get in and out. I got mine with dry gloves, and really like being 98% dry when I am done with a cold water dive. I agree the suspenders are long, I'm 5'11 180 and am able to get them to work normally, but I will need to trim them a little once I get my undergarments squared away.
 
I dove one for a couple of years (Pro version). Loved it, but about to list it for sale. I got it second hand from a beta tester (not @sea_ledford though). I used the Kubi / glove system on it installed on the glued in seals. Diving the bottom of quarries is cold all year long, so need those drygloves. Sticking with rings for that reason. Mine needs new seals, so decided to sell rather than replace them or get rings installed. I have too many drysuits anyway lol.
