| Convince me to buy your suit Everyone likes the suit they have bought. There's a phrase for it somewhere- I think it's retrospective justification. Anyway. The current suit is still going well considering I paid a whopping £100 for it. An Otter Hammerhead. Dry and comfy. However I can see it coming towards the end of its life so need convincing which new suit to get. Here's what I want from one: Neoprene neck seal HD cone latex wrist seals Front loading zip or convenience zip for popping Little Woz out for a wee Telescopic body Tough and flexible Reasonably light for travelling Comfy to wear all day in the RIB Thigh pockets, velcro closing, outside of each leg, wetnotes pocket behind one of them Internal braces MTM my lovely svelte frame Not made up my mind about the boots yet- either cuban heeled dancing wellies or floppy leg ends with seperate outer boots. So. Convince me that the suit you bought is brilliant and worth spending the money on.

| If you want a dry suit, go see O'Three. Theirs really are dry suits. And if you tell them what you want, you will get it.

| hat suit is a mtm protec dui copy, i had mine its the muts nuts, i wish i had one years ago, end of and for the price as well its a superb bit of kit, you wont regret the telescopic torso, its an amazing idea oh and its double sealed on the wrists so it can be dry gloved at any time, for the price i think the quality of build is unbeatable

| Protec won't fit a neo neck seal. Why? Dunno. Polar Bears appear to tick all the boxes. Janos has just got a lovely one.

| Seaskin will do all that and they aren't far from you, give Richard a call and save yourself £200.

| Yep accommodating in every single way apart from fitting a neo neck seal.

| That describes my seaskin almost to a tee. Although I've only done 12 dives in it, I am still dry and happy thus far. I didn't realise how bad fit and maunfacture quality my old ND suit really was until i got the new one!
