White's/Abyss/Viking

[Bob3]

Viking picked up the Nokia line, probably for their production assets.
Viking's Extreme is probably the best bang for the buck out there today, the suit has the same seals & zipper as the PRO, and the same high quality SiTech valves used on the PRO & HD line.
They're very light weight, yet sturdy as all getout.
I see there's one on ebay right now:

I have used White's drysuits and can tell you from experience that they are good suits. I have just returned from picking up my newly purchased White's Self Entry Pro dry suit. For the price/quality ratio you probably cannot find a better dry suit.

I got my Viking X-treme for $350 brand new. Viking was at DEMA (2 years ago?) and selling the upcoming model year suits CHEAP (obviously) to instructors to get them into the diving community evidently. I think each instructor was allowed to purchase 3 so my friend got my measurements and ordered one for me. While we had to wait a year to recieve the suits because of some production issues the price was worth the wait. I've only dove with it 6 times and have found that I will probably need ankle weights because my fins are slightly buoyant. The only thing I really don't like about it is that the feet of the boots are "tall", I can't get my regular fins over them and had to buy and XL pair. If you don't want to buy new fins you might take yours with you if you go try on dry suits. Another problem I have is that the neck opening isn't tight enough to keep water out but I have a teeny tiny neck. My friends with normal necks don't have this problem, they had to trim some of the neck away so it wouldn't cut off their circulation. Folding mine under just a teeny bit stops the leaking though.
