I have one and I like it a lot. I have the UltraFlex Pro - Tech cut. It is a nice quality suit.ScbNymph:
My only problem was the size 11 boots wouldn't fit into Jet fins. So I had the boots replaced with DUI turbo soles.

I have a Neo Z that I like very much. Latex seals. Cold water Pacific N.W. diving.
This suit comes only in stock sizes. I think they compare well with DUI CF200 at less cost-so far. Only been diving it for about a year, 59 dives. The pinnacle suit is extremely durable/heavy duty with a very sturdy zipper.
Our water temps. are probably similar and 200 stretch undies are enough for me most of the time. I mightconsider a vest for times there is more glacier/snowpack run-off here.
I don't have any experience with their non-neoprene suits.

WOW!!! I didn't expect to get replies so quickly!
From what I have read both here and on other sites is that these suits are pretty rugged and well made. It sounds like it might be just what I'm looking for. I won't be doing HUGE amounts of diving here just a few dives each year, but I do need something that will hold up. Good to know that I probably won't need very much under the suit either
How is the whole removable wrist system, sounds like a great idea if it works

Are you talking about their dry glove system? If so, yes they do work good.ScbNymph:
or are you confusing this with the DUI zip seal system?

I have a Diving Concepts Cordura with dry gloves. It is a stock, off the shelf suit. It does the job very well. The cordura is Tough. I've bumped sharp edges inside wrecks and been pushed into sea urchins. Never a puncture.
I do have a problem with valve drills but am not totally sure if it is suit fit or my lack of flexibility. We'll see next month when I dive a wet suit for the first time in a year.
It is cheap enough that a person could use it for a season or two; give someone a great deal on a used suit; and still make out.

I have had one for about 3 years now. I have the Ultra Flex Pro. It is very rugged. I did manage to cut it due to my own fault once but I patched it with mylar tape and PB300. The original seals lasted more than 100 dives. I just use the regular wrist seals. I don't go in for that big glove/seal attachment system. I just use drygloves that do not have the big rings.
