With pricing like that, I am fully expecting that someone in "less polished" area of the world would just make a copy on CNC out of few pieces of plastic if there is demand.My R90's were $139 when ordered in 09/22. That's a 34% price hike, that sucks
Speaking of nerds, I gave dimensions to someone on a DPV group I'm in to design a light holder. He then responded with "can you give me those in millimeters"... ugh, nerdsI think that's mostly the problem with our hobby. It's such a niche thing that there really isn't a demand. Divers are such a small % of people, let alone drysuit and dry glove systems. Let's face it, we're the nerds of the nerds
Yep. $193 at DGX (Edit: About $50 more than the original price from SS). But that sting only lasted a few minutes. The next email from Aqualand contained a tracking number for the suit!
Well.. 3D printers are all in millimeters, micrometers are all millimeters.. scientific community prefers metric... maybe you're just a hillbilly
I have been thinking about replacing my dry suit with a custom cut Seaskin. I am regretting not having done it sooner. Inflation hit Europe a lot harder than the US.My R90's were $139 when ordered in 09/22. That's a 34% price hike, that sucks
How DARE you?!Well.. 3D printers are all in millimeters, micrometers are all millimeters.. scientific community prefers metric... maybe you're just a hillbilly

Yeah, I feel your pain. I still turn people onto the suit, but it's not what I would call "cheap" anymore. It's more like economical. My same suit would be at least $300 more today than I paid. I got really really lucky. The week I bought my suit the exchange dropped to the lowest it's been since the 80's and the prices were still less than they are now. I think it was $1.14 USD was $1 GBP
Yeah... but do YOU measure in inches? My micrometer does inches... I've never used it because that's not what dignified people use! lol
