Under suits (in various forms) can often be bought fairly cheaply from an army/navy surplus store.

Here's a link to DUI so you can find out some things about their products from them: http://www.dui-online.com/

It will also show you their sizing & let you know whether or not you can get a good fit from their stock sizing, or whether you need something more customized. In addition, it will show you more information on their various editions.

SE = shoulder (aka back) entry. Means you have to get in/out of the suit via the zipper in the back. Usually this requires someone to zip or unzip the suit for you from behind. The other method is called self donning: a long diagonal zipper in the front that you will be able to open/close yourself.

DUI suits usually come in trilaminate, Cordura, crushed neoprene, or combinations of the aforementioned.

There are many alternatives to using DUI undergarments. It all depends on how much warmpth you need. But you're getting ahead of yourself here. Decide which SUIT you want first BEFORE you get into the undies.

We are long time DUI fans: CF200 & 350TLS. Our current suits are the latter. Couple them with the Rock Boots and wow!

As for an online source... I don't think so. They are very fussy about selling through dealers. The only online stuff you are going to get for them is used from someone selling one of their suits.

Xerxes, check your PM.
