I love my Bare XCD2 for the price I think it's one of the best buy rigth now. They are now selling it with the back entry for the one that does'nt like the front entry. Very warm drysuit and very resistant.

CALI68:I bought the Bare XCD2 Tech Dry...great suit especially for the money!
I disagree with the previous post...I think It's actually a VERY cool looking suit with outstanding features...look:

ShizzA:Sorry about that, I didn't even think about giving a price range. I don't want to spend too much more than say $1200 or $1300. Buying over the internet is actually something else I wanted to know about. I've been told that fit on a drysuit is extrememly important with drysuits and when I look on the internet, they typically don't have a very broad range of sizes. So how important is a perfect fit for tech diving? Is it ok to fudge a little bit? If so, what is the most important part of the drysuit to have fitted the best?
Thanks...
Genesis:You guys talking about $1500 suits for a guy who wants something reasonable are scary!
Look into the Bare NEX-Gen. You can find them around here in the States for $500 or so. Add to that a decent set of heavy Polypro underwear, and you're in business for water into the low to mid 60s. If you want to dive in colder water, then consider the Bare 200gm thinsulate/polypro garmet - Leisurepro sells it for under $200.
This assumes that the suit fits - you need to check size charts. If you're an odd size, then you're hosed because all custom suits will cost you a pretty penny.
I dove a NexGen for a year - spearfishing - and it held up REAL well.
