dry suit question????

[taat2d]

I just ordered a Bare ATR HD. Also got with the suit a Halcyon balanced P valve, Bare CT 200 undies, Diving Concepts dry gloves and rings, and the Bare Tech Dry hood. All for $1300US.

And the suit for that price was available for custom fit at no extra charge. Haven't recieved it yet but ass soon as I get into the water I'll reporet back what I think about it.

I can't say what dry suit is best, didn't go out to buy the best one, just one I could afford.

I have a Viking Xtreme that I got from Bob3 from here on the board for around $650.00. It doesn't have a pee valve, but I have been holding my water for a long time and expect I can do it when in a drysuit too. If this becomes a problem, to add a pee valve is not a big deal.

The suit I have, came with a dry hood system that seals around your face, and a neck seal too. Also, an insulated beanie to wear under the hood in cold water.

I haven't had the suit wet yet, so I can't tell you how well this all works. I believe Bob3 when he says it's a good suit, it certainly fits well and appears to be of good quality. However, it is not nearly as nice as a $2200 suit, I'm sure. However, diving is a hobby for me, not a job, and I doubt that I'll every wear out the $650.00 suit, so the $2200 suit seemed to be a bit too expensive for me. I don't have $2200 in my entire rig, including the suit.

Hope this is a help...

i have the CLX450 Custom with all the options minus the warmneck hood, i do fine with a standard trimmed down hood.

As for whcih is the best its all relative. What type of diving are you doing and how much can you spend are the tops issues.

There are plenty of great suits under $1000 it just depends on what you want the suit for and if your a stock or custom size.

My first suit was a Viking and it was good to me. It didnt have some options i wanted so thats the reason i went for the DUI, that and i got a sweet price, this time.

A decent undergarment, a p-valve, any decent drysuit, an argon bottle (or airgon), and a heck of a lot of training and experience if you are really asking about 100+ meters...

any DUI will do you fine. If you are an irregular size I Suggest getting a Signature series - custom fit. The Weezle underwear compliment the suit nice. They might seem a bit bulky, but they compress very easily. We dive the extreme elements all year long in Canada. Tobermory in July is 32 degrees after 100' and we all stay toasty warm.

I dive with guys who dive over 300'. They all use the same set-up that I have. That's why I bought it, because it works! These guys are so enthusiastic about deep diving, they have to be comfortable when you have 78 minutes of deco.
