<font color='#0000FF'>Any of you folkes got or have read any review on the above suit? Have a look here if you have no idea what i'm babbling about.

The other alternatives are either DUI or O'Three, but any help would be appreciated.

TIA

Hi Rick

Yes, I bought one early last year (as the old one shrunk!), I think its great. It was about £600 (from memory) as a kit, ie with the undersuit, booties, bag, braces, front zip, made to measure, etc.

Never had a wet dive until last wednesday night at stoney, and that was my fault. Only downside I have found is that because the material is thick, its not that flexible for a membrane and its quite a heavy suit when wet.

Here is a review from Dive (IIRC it got 'Dive choice')

And a review of the 'skin' from Diver

I like mine. &nbsp;It is really, really tough and pretty easy to get on and off unassisted. &nbsp;

Unfortunately mine is a little small when I have my thick undersuit on so it might be up for sale if you are interested.

Hi Rick, &nbsp;I have one. &nbsp;It is the bloody dogs danglies. &nbsp;I like to think that was also the stimulus for a couple of others here to dump their drysuits and invest in one. &nbsp;I got mine from amongst the long line of drysuits that Otter have in their warehouse - off the peg if you like. &nbsp;It was a third of the price if I had had one made to measure. &nbsp;Chances are they won't have one in your size but if they do you may get it for a steal so try and see.

<font color='#F52887'>Well I haven't got a Brittanic but a Codura ribskin, if you aren't to far away then nip down to the shop, they didn't make me pay extra for MTM as they couldn't find one off the peg to fit me (now those of you who have met me, won't be too suprised knowing the size of my arse &nbsp

Got an Otter Hammerhead at the mo, and my next suit will more than likely be an Otter too, Otter &amp; DWH have a good solid reputation.

I had a skin which is only diferent in the fact it dosent have pockets (I think) I loved it to bitts with the light weight laytex seels but hated it with the new heavy duty seels they replaced them with. I went for an O3 Neo in the end and I love the Neo seels very warm and comfortable. I miss the easy donning and doffing of the Otter and the light weight for travel but I like the warmth of the O3

You could get latex seals and neoprene over cuffs - no problems with cold then. &nbsp;My suit also has an attached hood so no problems around the neck either.
