Northern Diver HID drysuit - has anyone used one?

The NDiver HID drysuit is a lot cheaper than equivalent suits from Santi, Waterproof etc - has anyone used one?

Suit is ok for it's price if you get one that was glued right, the company and customer service are terrible.
After a month of use everything that was made of metal on the suit rusted, everything that was glued on on the outside fell off which I saw as a bonus, way to many equipment keepers that made it a pain to put on the gear. The seams on mine had to be repaired before I got in the water and the zipper re-glued.

Ouch! Quality control at ND did go to shite for a while when they moved the manufacturing to China. Did you eventually get a resolution from Northern Diver?

No, they refused to exchange the suit.

Sorry to hear that - those sorts of things won't help their reputation.
