Ordering a Santi E.Lite Drysuit...

[MNSCUBA1]

I'm about to order my drysuit and have selected the following options. Before I make the order I just wanted to see if there is anything I missed or should change:
SANTI E.Lite Drysuit MTM
Inflation Valve Apeks
Exhaust Valve Si-tech
Flexsoles
Kevlar Knee Pads
P-Valve Halcyon
Si-tech Quick Cuffs
Si-tech Glove Lock QCP System
Si-tech Neck Tite Neck Ring System
7/9mm Neoprene Basic Collar hood
Silicone Seals

Thanks,

Chris

Looks perfect! You will really like that suit. Are you going Plastic or Metal zipper? Don't forget to mention which side on the p-valve and you have the dryglove system, don't forget the drygloves themselves....and an Undergarment with the Bergen Merino as a base layer, that stuff is AWESOME! Oh, and extra seals...the replaceable system is pointless if you don't have a replacement ready to go when you rip a seal.

I was wondering if Santi has an option to add some sort of crotch cloverleaf overlay to guard against the crotch strap from a backplate and wing setup wearing?

I would say you don't need it. Material holds up... I've got more dpv dives on my Santi than I had in my DUI with the cloverleaf and I already was repairing the cloverleaf on the DUI ... No issues with the ELITE.

+2, Don't need it! We have done Apex exhaust and inflation valve on all our suits.

I use a crotch strap from DGX which has a neoprene sleeve. Scroll down the page:

I would stay with the Si Tech Exhaust. The Apeks, if your running lean on air in the suit, can leak if you don't have it closed a couple clicks. Apeks though, has a better response than Si Tech on the inflate (fills faster and stronger bursts of air). I think you have it perfect with Apeks inflate, and SI Tech exhaust. Agree on the Clover, not needed on that suit at all.

LOL - and I have to agree with the SiTech exhaust for the exact reason you mention. Funny.
