Finally took the next step to better diving

[mech]

Yesturday I finally orderd my Signature Series TLS350 with 300 weight fleece from Softwear.
It should be here in 4 to 6 weeks and I just can't wait.
Oh.... so many times I was tempted to go the cheaper ebay route on a lesser product that I just knew wouldn't fit me right.
For me this is a big (good) thing and I just can't wait.

Good for you. You'll love the new found warmth up there in NoCal. I have a CF200, with Softwear 200 weight. Janice does great work.

I made almost the same choice:
DUI trilam 350TLse with softwear 300g. It is comfortable for me in water as cold as 44F and I can use it from 60F.
The suit with the softwear underwear is very supple. The softwear easy to maintain.

I just got a Northern Diver dry suit, but am using a duofold union suit. I am looking to change. Tell me more about "Software".

I recieved my softwear undergarment from Janice yesterday.
She was a pleasure to do business with and very prompt.
It fits like it was built for me....maybe because it was .
Just can't wait to dive it.

I have the DUI TLS350 with the sport package. I went with a stock suit because I was lucky on the fit. I also have the 300W Softwear underwear and love it. I am always amazed by how much moisture is whicked away by that fleece material! The outside of the underwear and inside of the suit are quite damp when I exit from a dive but I never feel it during the dive. Awesome gear.

I just checked my dive log and the coldest temp so far was 48 degrees at Dutch Springs in April this year. I was toasty.

PS I just remembered, I bought her vest as an add on for warmth and use it early in the dive season. I'll probably go with 200W for the late summer dives next year.

I went the e-bay route and bought a dui-450($800.00), then went to ocean_liners for a 300 polar fleece custom made suit,($185.00) I don't think i did too bad, but i'd like some imput.

oops.

Thomas,
Does 11B3Y have anything to do with 11BRAVO ?
I was glad you posted a temp usage report on the Softwear.
I was kinda wondering how cold I would be in the high 40's to the mid 50's range.
I stay warm enough with a 9/7/6 in the water at those temps so I'm hoping this undergarment will keep me warm with out having to layer it.

Chris,
Sounds like a smoking deal if it fits.
I don't fit off the rack so my options were less than optimal.
I also almost went with ocean_liners but remembered (reminded)that Janice had an excellent reputation.
I do believe they are made of the same material.
