I wish my damn suit would get here so I could try it...it looks better than it sounded on the phone with DUI and Halcyon when I talked to them.

Well when that hole on my wetsuit from the harness rubbing on it finally wears through... I might have to drop some more $$$... just as a Flex 50/50 in my size came up on eBay too.

Ok I have to know since I am new to diving and I want to buy a dry suit some time soon. What would be the difference having a dump on your forearm or on the shoulder?

Oh-oh. Is it too late to change it? I just read on another board that George says that only short zippers are DIR.
You HAVE moved your butt rings BTW, haven't you?

..so I cancelled the suit (at my expense...$2500) and ordered another one exactly like it but with the DIR zipper (another $2500)..I hope George doesn't change his mind again or this suit is going to cost me as much as a small car.
I tried my butt rings again and it worked fine...I was just taking the easy route instead of practicing and moving them to where it was "easy".

Hey O-ring,
So have you tried that new suit out yet?

OP
...NO, it is driving me crazy. I called DUI yesterday and they told me it shipped out last week. Since they are in CA and I am in VA, I am guessing it should be here this week. Since I will be in Cape Hatteras, NC diving this weekend, I won't be able to try it out (not cold enough down there) even if it does get here.
I am hoping to try it out the weekend after that...provided it comes in and nobody messed anything up on it.

I just picked it up tonight and tried it on...here are some pics of the suit and the new zipper. I won't get to try it until next weekend, so I will post again then.
