I suppose the best way to envision this suit is to imagine a lightweight shell drysuit on you that is a size or 2 too big, when you have the suit on by itself it is really not diveable - there is excess material in most areas - if you dove it this way there would be a lot of drag and air would get trapped in the areas that were too big; you are not restricted in your movements at all however. Then you put a full 1 piece/ 1mm wetsuit over top of it - this sucks in the excess material - and makes you ultra stremalined, but because this "wetsuit" has so much stretch - you still are not restricted in your movements - but you are still dry, flexible, and streamlined.

The question for this thread is - what color or style would you want that outer "wetsuit" to be - because it is in fact replaceable.

The suit right now has an MSRP listed at $1398 (including outer skin) - we will have several types of skins available in the new year
- 1 will be solid Lycra - which is what it comes with now - it will have an MSRP of around $200
- The other types will be combinations of Lycra and neoprene - providing optimum stretch and durability - These styles will have an MSRP of around $300

Later today I will post a poster that has examples of different skins as well as more technical info on how it all works together.

Until the next Dive,

Is your new suit going to last longer than your other suits? My Nexes seals fell apart before the 10th dive. The replacement seals fell apart before the 100th dive. My friends, husband and wife, both have your Polar Flex suits and they are falling apart with less than 50 dives. I know another person who just got his Polar Fles back, after 10 dives, because it started to fall apart. If the craftSmanship of your new suit is the same as the rest of your suits, it would not matter what color they came in, I WOULD NOT BUY ONE! And yes I called the factory concernig this. There response was "What do you want for a suit with a 100 dives on it. You'er lucky you got that many."

Becareful when purchasing White's over priced crap. I know I wish I had not, and the people I know that have also wished they had not.

Just wondering, for the tec divers out there...can you put dry gloves on? How about a p-valve? Hip pockets?

I bought a Bare to replace my White's. I installed the dry gloves myself, Viking Bayonets, the pee vlave myself, OMS, and the bellows pockest myself, Bare. This suit has approximately 100 dives on it and still looks the same as when I took it out of the box. I would recomend Bare suits to anyone wanting a quality product. Oh, by the way did I mention that my Tech Bare suit was half the cost of Whites Polar Flex, and warranted for life against leakage.

We really appreciate your comments and concerns. When a manufacturer puts a suit together, in most cases the individual parts, come from the same place; zippers, seals etc. In fact the seals on your existing suit are the same seals that we use here at Whites - they come from the same place.

Any issues that you or any of your friends/relatives have with any of our products, I would encourage you to contact me directly - and I will personally ensure that you're taken care of. That goes out to everyone on Scubaboard for that matter, that is why I am here. We always hope that your local dealer will provide you with the customer service you are after, but if they don't, my door is open.

As an instructor I have always been a fan of bright, visible colors under water - what would any one think of a black lycra skin with yellow graphics? even the same graphics pictured in my previous post - just yellow instead of grey?


OR - what if you could put your own graphic on it?

SOLD!! ...although I haven't the faintest idea of what my graphic would be...meh.


All the best, James



PS - I'd swap all the colors in the world for pockets. Not the matrix plate pockets, but sewn-on bellows pockets....
