All comments most welcome,

General consensus seems to be that they're very good suits providing you can get them to make one that actually fits! I know of a few people that ordered a MTM Explorer and had to send the suit back on several occasions for modifications to make the suit fit.
Since then, of course, Protec have released their DUI 'clone', the Protec Explorer that has stolen a lot of the Polar Bears' thunder. Whether they're as good as they first were is unknown as Ian - the previous owner of Protec - has since moved on to pastures new. Certainly the Protec suits I've seen so far have been good - I suspect I'd be more inclined to go for one of those than a Polar Bears!
