Dry suit survey? - Minnetonka - 02-26-2004
I see that the question of which company has the best dry suit has been beat to death. Since many of the questions about "the best dry-suit" are very subjective, I want to take another approach. I assume that those of you who have dry suits did a lot of research and came to conclusions based on both quality and price. I only want to hear from those of you who currently have a dry suit, and I only want the following information:
What brand and model of suit do you have?
Dry gloves or Wet?
Front zipper or rear?
Dump valve placement?
Regular boots or "tech" or "rock"?
P-valve or not?

Diving Concepts Ultraflex Trilam. Very Pleased. (4th dry suit over the years I've owned -best yet)
Dry Gloves -same company.
Front Zip.
Valve on wrist, like it more than shoulder.
Regular boots, very durable, came with suit.
NO p-valve, know too many who got urinary infections w/them.
