Measuring for a Cave Cut TLS350

[rjack321]

I fill my own tanks and dive off my own boat. I haven't been in a dive shop in years...

How can I figure out who to trust measuring me for a cave cut TLS350? Obviously some dealers handle these suits more than others but they all want my business and "talk the talk"...

Alternatively, when would an experienced measurer from DUI be in Western WA?

Ideas please, by PM if that's appropriate.
Thanks

What about a regular tailor? I'm sure they measure more people than anyone else. Does DUI just take the measurements as specified and make adjustments to give you the fit you desire?

Regardless, I've been wondering about this too.

Andy Huber at Ocean Adventures in SoCal.

The man's a savant... genius.
I've never seen such perfect suits as those measured and "adapted" by him.

He has a list of mods, including the placement of the shoulder dump valve.


The man's a wizard, really.

Hello!

In regards to finding a dealer to measure you...all of our dealers have been trained and equipped with instructions and video as to how to measure for a DUI suit specifically. That being said, typically, a dealer that is designated as a "Premier" dealer has quite a bit of experience. We have a list of dealers available on our website...

Find Your Nearest DUI Dealer

When we receive the measurements at DUI, we review the measurements and notify the dealer if there are any flags.

You mentioned your interest in a cave cut. It is important to remember with a cave cut, the suit is a much snugger fit and may restrict some of your full range of motion.

Typically, we do not recommend getting measured by a tailor for our drysuits because the measurements need to be taken in different places than a tailor would take measurements for clothing.

We were recently in Tacoma for the DUI demo days. As of right now, the next time DUI is scheduled to be in Washington is next August.

Feel free to contact me directly if you need further assistance finding a dealer to best meet your needs.

Thank you,
