I'm a Fish!
I am confused between the X-mission and the HDC EXPEDITION suits and don't know why one would buy one and not the other. Both are advertised as made for the technical/caver diver. Can you please clarify?
 
The main difference between the two is the material.

The X-Mission has a new extremely flexible Nylon RipStop Trilaminate. It is very durable and lightweight.

The HDC Expedition has a full Cordura body, RipStop reinforced upper/lower sleeves, shoulders, crotch/seat, lower legs and flexible M-PADz knee pads.

This comparison chart might be helpful. Take a look and let us know if you have more questions.

What's the weight difference between a X-Mission and a HDC Expedition?
