Personally I wouldn't go near predator after my experience with Denis although I do have friends who rave about the quality of suits that he has made. I ordered a made to measure suit in the 2nd week of January last year which I needed for an Easter (April) diving holiday. Drove down to the New Forest and was measured by Denis and told it would be ready in 4 weeks. After 4 weeks I contacted him and was told he hadn't started it but he would get it finished the following week. After several phone calls I was told the suit was finished and I could come to New Forest and collect it. The suit was huge and was totally unsuitable so Denis said he would make another but that I would have to wait another 4 weeks. After many phone calls the suit was actually finished a further 5 and a half weeks later just 2 days before I was due to go on holiday. I drove back down to the New Forest to pick up the new suit but when I got there it was so small I couldn't get into it. When I asked Denis what he was going to do he said there was nothing more he could do and he had lost a lot of money making me suits that didn't fit and suggested that I find an alternative supplier as he was going to take a break from making dry suits and would be concentrating on T shirts for a while.
I drove down to Weymouth and called in to O3 who took my measurements and produced an excellent well fitting dry suit just 4 weeks later. Denis can make good drysuits but he also can screw up big time.

I had to take my Easter diving holiday in my old leaking drysuit.

Buy an O3, Predator are just not worth the trouble.
