Oceanic Aerdura and Flexia

[Welshman]

Has anyone any experience of these two dry suits that they can share with me. After months of believing that I could live with a semi-dry I have recognised the error of my ways and a dry suit beckons. If anyone has any other suggestions on good quality reasonably priced dry suits for an aspiring DM please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Aerdura!! This is such a tough suit. Really comfortable, though not as flexible as some other suits. I can live with this though. Its not gonna get a rip in it when I brush against a wreck or something rough. Its weird, feeling the outside of this suit and some other suits i have seen on the boats and in the quarry. They feel like $1500 trashbags. They don't seem worth the investment. I got the made to order version because I am tall and lanky. They ended up sending me the british version, looks a little different from the one on www.oceanicww.com. They have it on the brit website. I was told to steer clear of DUI. There are some dive shops around me that swear by them, but then again, if you were selling $2300 drysuits, wouldn't you swear by them to your customers. Everything from durability, to customer service was questioned by many people. I ended up spending 1500 dollars on a sweet aerdura titanium custom made suit, that looks and feels better than any other suit i have tried. WELL WORTH THE MONEY!

I ordered a biodry. The audura is too heavy in my opinion.

My buddy just bought a flexia. She really likes it. It doesn't seem as hard wearing as other suits (although it is too early to tell if this is real or perceived) but it is really comfortable with a good range of movement.
