In case anyone's interested....
I watched someone try on a Whites suit (front entry) at the show on Sunday, and the guy (american - think may have been the boss) definitely knew his stuff. The suit has soft boots, and comes with a pair of neoprene socks, then a pair of laced 'shoes' go over the top. Nice design, a bit pricey (show price £750, normally >£1000), but if I had the money to spend I'd be tempted.
The guy was saying that his yearly returns rate is 1%, only uses Sitek valves and the suit is all bonded - no stitching.
As I said, I'd be tempted if I had mucho ££ to spend! Saying that, the O3 suits were nice too!
