Predator or ND?

[scribley]

I'm after a MTM drysuit. I've decided on a 4mm compressed neo suit.
I can't decide whether to go for the Predator Ti-Tech, or Northern Diver Divemaster.
I prefer the look of the divemaster I think, but quality is more important.
Which do you think is the best buy??

I've had both Predator and Northern Diver suits and would have a Predator before anything else, the build quality in my opinion is far better and it is the driest suit I have ever owned and I've owned quite a few including several membrane suits.

A vote for Predator from me.

Cheers

JAG (buddy) is after a predator suit. They are very well made indeed.

Thanks for the advice guys. Had a nice chat to Dennis at predator today, will take measurements and get suit ordered.
thanks

I was measured up by Dennis two weeks ago and hopefully collect the suit next Saturday, very efficient.

I'm trying to decide which pockets to add to the suit. I can go for a big cargo pocket - not very streamlined, but hopefully my reel/smb will fit in it, so I don't have to clip it to me.
Alternatively, I can go for a smaller slate pocket for bits and pieces, won't fit smb and reel in, but more streamlined.
Any suggestions?

Get both. One each side - you can't go wrong then

If Dennis does Bellows cargo pockets they will fold flatter when not full so are a better option.

I have a bix box-type pocket and to be honest, with a twinset on, having a pocket isn't that much different to the streamling. Added to that, if they are on the outside of the thigh they are in the slip-shadow of your shoulder, so again their effect is reduced.

Hi,

Predator definately

He does do bellows type pockets, which would be the best solution all round.
