Ok, to those of you who have a Viking Drysuit (PRO, Sport, Extreme, etc.), what do you like about it? What would you improve on? Would you buy another Viking?

For me - I love my Viking suit - easy to get into and out of, I actually like the latex hood (especially when using with an AGA mask) and it's tough as nails. I have a black one now, but I might go with a black/red suit next.

Improvements - not many - maybe a different position for the exhaust valve (my buddy has one on the wrist of his suit) and lower price for my next suit!
 
If you like the valve there you can add one to your glove for example, easy to do and I know of a couple that way.

I like mine because it dries off very fast.
 
I like my Viking Sport 90x because it dries quickly, has some color to it, is relatively easy to repair, parts are readily available, and it was paid for a long time ago (1986). I do get some leakage into my mask because of the latex hood which can be annoying (I wear my mask over the hood rather than trying to pull the hood back, like is done with a neoprene hood). I'd probably go with another Viking if I had to replace mine.
