[String]

I know its been asked before but as im about to spend a fair sum of money id like opinions:

Im definately in the market for a drysuit as im sick of getting soaked in mine.

Firstly, top of the range expensive ones are out.

Im looking at maybe Otterskin membrane, Otter Britannic or Northern Diver Cortex at the moment.

Anyone got any thoughts or used these to give opinions ?

Are there any reasons NOT to get one of these and so on ?

Im looking at getting MTM purely because the stock sizes for my height normally have size 8 boots and im 11.  Plus if im spending that much i may as well pay slightly more and have a customised one.

What about addons:-  I definately want a pocked (1 maybe 2).

Are the neoprene neck warmers and cuff warmers any good or dont they actually do anything ?

Dump valve - my existing suit is a cuff dump, i take it auto dump is the way forward these days ?  Apeks or Sitech ?

Any other advice for a first time new-buyer?  Any other makes/models i should consider ?
