I don't recognise the pricing stucture advertsied by Cyrille above. As the dealer in the UK who does the DIR spec suits for hydrotech, I'm happy to talk to you to find out what it is you would like and price accordingly.
Maby this is what's creating the confusion;
In addition to the 'Select' and 'Special production' version of the TLS Explorer the central European (+ Scandinavia) distributor also offer 'Standard/Stock size' TLS Explorer in Mens sizes M, L and XL. 'Standard/Stock' meaning that they're buying 5pc at the time from DUI. (5pc of each different size and with identical spec's). If you buy 5pc of 'whatever' from DUI that has 100% identical size and specs they will price the product lower.
The custommer can't change anything on those suits (like Turbosole size, overlay color, type of exhaust valve or any other type of alteration).
-------
Apparantly there's a request for that type of product.
Personally I much rather prefer the extended sizing that you get with 'Select' versions of the suit together with individually sized shoes to fit the custommers feet, type/color overlay, and the other options that you get with the 'Select' version.
Or if none of the 15 different Men and 12 different Women sizes that you get with the 'Select' fits well, go for the Special Production which is made to measure +++.
The suggested retail prices (including 19% VAT) for the 3 different TLS Explorer suits in the area that distributor sells;
TLS Explorer 'Stock' - EUR 2.701,-
TLS Explorer 'Select' - EUR 2.815,-
TLS Explorer 'Special production' - EUR 3.084,-
(What's the suggested retail price for a TLS Explorer - Special production in UK?)
Personally I'd rather buy a plain TLS350 'Select' with turbosoles, Halcyon Exploration bellows pockets, Halcyon P-valve and none of the additional fancy stuff on the suit.
Best,
Fredrik
