Dry Suit Opinions

[drifter1430]

Back to the topic... lol.  Monkey grip... yikes...

I've had the Diving Concepts full Cordura trilam suit for years. For the extra couple hundred I had it custom fit. Well worth it… I got the dry gloves, Diving Concepts bellows pockets on the thighs and the self donning front zipper. I never liked having to ask someone to help me zip the back type. I bought the expensive Diving Concepts underwear, it cost quite a bit more then I expected, but on the other hand, with it I haven't been cold at all. Even through the winter. I also opted for the cuff dump instead of the shoulder dump. It takes a little getting used to; you can't dump quickly during a runaway, so you have to pay attention. (Which you should be doing anyway.) Being on my left wrist, while I dump my wings it pretty much takes care of itself. As for a P-valve, my philosophy is, the first time I "really" need one. I'll have one the next time...

Hope this helps.
