Ohhh yes and chuffed to bits with it.

Myself and Brian A acted as guinea pigs for these suits.

Basically we wanted a functional suit, without the DUI price tag. So we went down explained exactly what we wanted and needed. Then demostrated movement required type of fit (snug on legs, room in chest etc) and they made it!

You can have standard drysuit boots, neoprene socks (like my regular buddy), or latex socks (as is mine). The variation are almost endless.

The shoulder dumpwas moved back to allow horizontal ascent, pockets on sides not front etc.

My suit has taken a battering ( I opted for lighter weight material), and its survived a hammering during winter diving (Crawling on the deck of the boat in big swells, crawling out over rocks in big swells, crawling up steps in big swells ..... there is a theme here).

So yes I can thoroughly recommend them.

They are also doing a membrane sock, which I now have. They got the neoprene ones a bit small.

That's good to hear
Have you got any pics you could upload as the PB website isn't exactly cutting edge.
How would you compare the weight of the lighter material, to say a DUI TLS350?
Also have you got the no-cost cuff ring system?

Cheers,

Darren
