Poseidon drysuits..

[SubZone]

Does anyone here have any experience with Poseidon drysuits?

I am thinking of purchasing a Poseidon Unisuit Exclusive.
If anyone owns one or has dived in one, can you please share your thoughts?

thanks.

I don't have any comments from personnel use but I have a friend who has had one for 15yrs and he think it's great.

DUI is the popular suit up around New England, but I know Poseidon is really big down around the New York area...

I had a custom unisuit and loved it. I even looked for cold dives to do. I spent a year in Iceland and the only thing that ever got realy cold was my hands when I tried to wear gloves instead of the mitts.

They're a popular suit off Jersey. Because my DUI self-don needed a zipper a couple years ago I bought a Henderson which arrived in 2 days. The DUI is a shell with latex seals whereas the Henderson is all neoprene. I can say the full neoprene is much warmer. I think the Poseidon still has the long zipper, so consider replacement costs there.

I haven't had a dry suit for 8 or so years, and never had to replace the zipper on my unisuit in the 10 or so years I had it. How expensive was it to have the DUI zipper replaced?

BTW I agree that the neoprene is warmer.

Got the whole enchilada, neck and wrist seals along with zipper - $500.
