I'm beginning to look for a new drysuit. This may be a year down the road, but I looked at a Dive Rite 905 at an LDS last night. It looks amazing, and is much better priced at $1395.

How do people like this suit and does anyone know where a better price can be found?

What are other relatively inexpensive shell suits available to look at? I've looked at Diving Concepts and Andy's and both are a bit more cash than I want to fork over.
 
That's the shell suit I want... I know about half a dozen folks with them, and so far everyone's very happy with them.
If money were no object I'd probably go for the high-end DUI, but my "bang for the buck" vote goes to the Dive-Rite.

I can't help you with info. on the Dive Rite suits, but here are some relatively inexpensive shell suit makers you can look into:
BARE
USIA
White's
Mobby's

I'm sure there are a lot more, but these are the ones that first came to mind.

I have one with about 60-70 dives on it. The nice thing is that I picked mine up just after they came out and noone knew anything about them. So the store sold it to me for $695.00.

I like everything about the suit except the boots. I disliked them enough that late last year I sent the suit to Superior Dive Repair and had the boots replaced with socks so that I could use Rock Boots. Much better.

The 905 is an excellent suit. The boots are geat. As previously stated, Rock Boots Suck.
