They, and the rest of the world, are finally accepting their demise. Substandard kits are going to the wayside.
There, fixed it for ya!
If Kubi's wasn't so mind****ingly expensive I could get on board, but how much profit do you need to make on a hunk of metal? I get the R&D, and the niche market... but there's a difference between "honest pay" and "highway robbery".

They're stupid expensive now. In 2022 when I bought mine it was only 220 GBP for the compete set...

Wasn't someone complaining that rolocks were really expensive now? One big reason is that the Swiss franc is worth a lot right now, although apparently it's come down again compared to USD.
Only $280USD (with today's conversion rate which doesn't even touch what they currently cost)... gosh why not buy 2
That was highway robbery back then and it's worse now
@sail2steam posted drysuitspareparts.com where you can still get them for a reasonable price. I think it was 137.00GBP. ~ so $173USD with today's rate. That's not great, but the exchange has also gone up. 137.00GBP is reasonable.
Someone will come along and 3D print all this stuff and then it will be pennies on the dollar, lol

My cost for everything (Sep 2022) was right around $170USD. PU rings glued suit and the Rolock 90 Kit to go with. Still dry, still going strong!
I have since spent any savings on other dive gear though

It was ~$250 when I ordered mine and I've since used my expense to be cheap on everything else.My cost for everything (Sep 2022) was right around $170USD. PU rings glued suit and the Rolock 90 Kit to go with. Still dry, still going strong!
