DUI - new models leaky?

[billt4sf]

I have heard a few people comment that they thought that recent versions / models of DUI drysuits were more prone to leaks. Does anyone have any info on this that might be more than hearsay?

I have a pretty recent FLX that is bone dry. Love it!

Early models of the TLS had some leak issues but I believe that any issues have been resolved. I have a FLX Extreme that was purchased last fall and it is perfectly dry.

My new FLX Extreme has about 15 dives and it has not leaked a drop. Perhaps a few teaspoons of water made it under a wrist seal once or twice but that is not leaking in my opinion. I am truly impressed by the quality of my DUI suit. To be honest to only leaking I experienced with DUI was from my wallet but I would do it all over again if I had to.

When you say "bone dry", do you mean it's uniformly wet inside? Maybe due to condensation?

I have a TLS front zip (purchased last October) and after almost every dive I am uniformily damp inside. Nothing major but just damp. I'm literally completely dry after about 2 or 3 minutes of unzipping. I just have wrote it off as condensation. I am going from typically 80 deg outside temp to temps in the low 40s when submerged. However my exhaust valve was leaking on it and I found out by closing it two or three clicks stopped all water entering through it.

PS... I also wear the PS 300 undies and I think some of the dampness might also be perspiration that is being wicked away.

I am still very very satisfied with the suit and the fit of it.
