Alright, this Ohio snow bunny got a nice bonus at work and is finally going dry. I am buying Bare (this is already decided) to take advantage of the free undergarment special this month and have narrowed it down to two models: the Bare Trilam HD Tech Dry and the Bare Neopreme XCD2 Tech Dry. My LDS quotes a $190 difference between the two models. Does anyone have any experience with either or any comments on choosing between Trilam and Neoprene?
FYI- A little BG on me- since I'm sure that makes a difference as to what the ideal choice for me would be: I am a cold water diver. enguin3: I do mostly quarries and the Great Lakes. I dive with a steel 95 cylinder that I have a rough time slugging around due to weight. I am always cold and frequently shiver on dives in wetsuits even in the hottest part of the summer. I'm currently AOW and deep diver certified (do deep dives in the quarry) and will be doing Rescue, Search & Recovery this year and possibly working towards Divemaster for my LDS. Will be in lots of OW classes observing and assisting where I can either way. Someday, want to do advanced nitrox and deco, but that's more like a 5 year goal for me till I build up more experience. Also want to be an Instructor sometime in the next 5 or 10 years- again want to work up more experience.
