Transitioning from Rent to Own

[Clifonef]

I went to four different dive stores and tried on the five "best fitting" suits, not all in 7mm, but similar models.   Very different fits, but everyone said that suit is supposed to fit that way.  They couldn't all be right.  I liked the Hendersons the best, but the alterations just to the legs & arms were $112, putting the cost over $400, plus tax.  One Gold Core Henderson fit OK and with a lot of tugging, even the knee pads fell in the right place.  That one was $373, plus tax.

I did some more research on Aquaflite on other boards, and read only good reviews.  I called Aquaflite, discussed the options, and decided that for $420, including shipping, I could get a lot more suit for my money.  They took 32 of my measurements, and can produce the suit in 10 days.  It is a semi-dry hooded 7mm farmer john with a fairly long jacket, plus has arm & leg zips:



For that price, I even got a color choice (Pittsburgh Pirates - Yellow V over black!).

So now you'll know who I am.  Superior, here I come.
