Drysuit recommendation for a short, fat guy

digital_steve · June 12th, 2008, 01:33 AM

Clearly i'm the embodyment of a DIR diver... being a short fatty.
basically i've got a paragon/pinnacle evo2 drysuit (still for sale!) that never fitted me properly around the guts, and it must've shrunk recently

so now it's just a nightmare.

I've thought about going down the whites fusion route, but i think due to my height and err, width, it's still not going to be a good choice.

So this leaves the custom route.
I'm after a trilam/shell suit that has some sort of flexibility. Due to the fit and material of my current suit, when i run it squeezed it's not very flexible.

Has anyone been in the same boat? If so, what did you go for.
Currently DUI suits from my LDS (here in OZ) are like 3 grand. As much as i'd love to throw around that sort of money, it's not really feasible.

Does anyone have any suggestions, brands, suppliers etc?
