where can I order a Pinnacle suit from online?

[tangfish]

Does anyone know where I can buy a Pinnacle Fusion 5/4 suit online? I can't seem to find any dealers on the web that sell Pinnacle suits. I contacted them directly and they said they don't sell online because of sizing issues, but I know what size I need and I'm surprised there is not even 1 dive shop out there that carries them and will do mail order. Help!

Hopefully without starting a long drawn out thread on why everyone disagrees with this policy, I can tell you that Pinnacle does not alow it's dealers to sell online becasue of the sizing issue.

Are you shopping around because of price? Or does noone in your area sell Pinnacles? There's a LDS a couple of hours from me that's an authorized dealer. They don't sell online, but I know the manager is willing to ship gear to out of town customers. He's made this offer to me. I don't know if Pinnacle would keep him from doing this to a customer unseen, but it might be worth a shot if you're just looking for an authorized dealer. Let me know. If that's all you want I'll send you the info.

We are a Pinnacle Dealer and they are very strick about online sales. I doubt you would find an authorized dealer that would sell you one online.

I realize that there is a sizing issue because they have so many sizes and they want the customer to get a proper fit. The thing is it seems to be hard to find an authorized dealer where I live, and I don't have any problems knowing my size because I tried on several pinnacle suits on my last dive trip, figured out what size I am, but the shop did not have my size in the thickness i want (5/4 fusion).

Do they prevent you from selling their products over the phone? I can understand the online sales thing, it seems to be a problem with dive gear/equipment manufacturers, but phone or catalog sales too?!?!
