OK, I know this is very subjective - it varies greatly per person. But, hoping to get some feedback...
I currently dive a DUI TLS350 with some fleece items which works well in San Diego waters (low 50's to mid 60's, above that I dive wet). But now I'm heading up to the Seattle area which I hear can get down to mid 40's. So I want to get a good jumpsuit - I'll figure out the thickness/heat rating after figuring out my questions below. Been looking at DUI, Bare and Whites.
So first...the materials - fleece versus Thinsulate. From what I've read Thinsulate is the more comfortable. But I've also heard they're not easy to wash - special instructions? What's your pros and cons overall?
Second...manufacturers. Of the 3 mentioned above, what's your take?
Thanks, Spamcan
