Opinions on equipment upgrades

[matt t.]

That's IT, I'm after you! DUI suits cost more, but IMO are well worth it. I'm on my 2nd after out growing my 1st (sold last weekend after 6yrs and hundreds of dives with very little trouble). All of the other suits mentioned above seem to be decent suits, but none of the other offer decent boots or the fit DUI does with their telescoping torso. Nor are these other suits the bargain they used to be. List price on all of the above is at or near the price for a stock front zip TLS 350 suit. Most other's I've looked at are proportionally weird with short legs and huge upper body's. Some don't come with internal suspenders. MY feeling for the most part is that you DO get what you pay for with gear. Save your $$$ and buy right the first time. I talked to a guy at Ghost Ships this past weekend. He's been diving for 3 years and is into his 4th set of gear to get the "right" stuff. I still don't know if he's there yet.......
