Dump Valve

Danny · January 8th, 2006, 03:25 AM

Hi,

I got some problem with getting the air out of my drysuit TLS350.
Maybe it's the valve or the undersuit ?
But what is the best dump Valve ?
At the moment I'm using the low profil automatic dump valve (DUI/apeks) but is the automatic dump valve maybe better ?

Thanks

Danny

Get the Si Tech valve..IMHO much better and doesn't end up flooding your arm if you don't keep much gas in your drysuit

I agree - SiTech is the way to go. You will be happier in the long run.

I had the low profile Apeks on my old suit and SiTech on the new one. I agree SiTech is much better. Lots of people swear by the high profile apeks though, but I've not tried one of them.
