Review of Deep 6 Drysuit

[Schwob]

Mine is holding up well, but it is not a good data point as it is also getting too little use. So far I only used it if in below 45 deg. water and that wasn‘t that often yet. I do like it considerably more than my Neotek wetsuit in cold water, as I do get cold in the Neotek in the low 50s if immersed long enough. But even so, I found I still default to the Neotek whenever I can. The probably dumb reason is that I have not come to mental peace yet with all involved to hook myself up to that P-valve. Resolving to remove that mental block this year...

Just tell yourself you’ve got it easier than the women. The She-P is considerably more involved and a LOT more glue! And more landscaping, for that matter!

I can't imagine what you women go thru concerning this! My utmost condolences.

My suit is going very well. I would suggest that you speak to Chris to order the suit without Kevlar upgrades that Deep6 has added to it. There was additional Kevlar protection on Deep6 suit that started to come off so Chris sent me a suit without it and now it is bullet proof! Best suit out there. With Deep6 you know their customer service is top notch!

I got mine today! It fits like a glove once it's on, but getting it over my head is kind of a chore. I can't wait to dive it and see what a suit that fits feels like!

Looks good man!! Yeah neck seals are a PITA no matter what haha. I would be interested to see how it went when you go diving!! Enjoy

I would be interested in what options they have with the neck and wrist seals. They are my worst nightmare.

Their website lists mostly Si-Tech stuff.

I have only used DUI suits in class...so from researching I think I'm going to end up with Sitech neck and the Glove lock system.

Anyone running the glove lock? My hands are huge so I cant use the antares system.

I have the Glovelock QCP on top of the Quick Cuff modular system with silicone seals. Compared to glued in seals, I think the Quick Cuff is harder to don/doff. I think that’s the trade-off. But I do like the silicone seals better than latex and over time I think the ability to replace a blown seal in the field will be useful.

As far as the gloves, I have found the Glovelock to be quite good. They are a reasonable effort to don/doff and have worked as advertised for me so far.
