Bare Trilam HD Tech Drysuit???

[SilverSurfer7]

This spring I will be purchasing a drysuit. Does anyone have any general info about the Bare Trilam HD Tech drysuit? Thanks

what sort of info are you looking for?

Just basic stuff. Were you happy with the fit, performance, workmanship, etc?

I've got about 80 dives on mine and I love it. Tough as nails, great fit and an excellent value. I fit into a stock size so it only took about 2 weeks to get it. I'd buy another and I think my girlfriend is going to get one.

I'm not sure how different the HD Tech is to the ATX-HD of a few years back, which is what I have. It's a great suit, very durable. Stock size fit like a glove. Had my neoprene neck seal blow out after about 40 dives, but I was able to sew it up with dental floss and aquaseal it and got another 100 or so dives out of it before I replaced it with a latex seal, which I like better. My zipper blew out after about 200 dives, getting that repaired now, and also got the boots replaced because the BARE socks don't work with turbosoles.

But overall, it's been a great suit for a great price.

Has anyone taken the HD Tech into a wreck or some other location where it could get poked? I'm interested in knowing how tough the shell is compared to an actual Cordura suit like the DUI CLX450.
