Pros: It's tough and there's a slight bit of stretch not present on trilams that help with closer fit and movement.
Cons: It takes a day or two to dry and are HEAVY.

Hi Chad,

The most important thing about a drysuit is the fit. You must be able to reach your valves, as well as be able to move your legs to kick properly.

As long as it fits properly, any drysuit will do the job, just some are better than others. I know this doesn't really answer your question, but if it doesn't fit, then even if it's really cheap it's not worth getting.
