FOR SALE: (BNWT) DUI TLS350 Size XL in Black

Mal Bridgeman · March 6th, 2006, 03:41 PM

Hi

I have for sale a new, "with tags" XL-sized DUI TLS350 drysuit which, despite following the sizing guide on the DUI website, is too big for me. The opinion of people I have consulted is that these suits are generously proportioned (I am just over 6 ft tall and weigh a little over 13 stone)

The suit has never been dived...the neck seal is uncut and I cut the cuffs to try it on....I have the cones as pictured!!

It is spec'd with kneepads, two factory fitted pockets and warm neck collar.

It comes with the manual, a hood and hose as well as a seal care kit and the obligatory DUI drysuit carry bag.

If interested or if you have any questions then please let me know

I am asking for £800 plus Postage

Best Regards
Mal

Where is this too big for you? too tall? too much girth? or a combination?

In my opinion it is fine lengthwise !!

Where I did feel it didn't fit, was across the chest and round the shoulders where it is too big for me.

A standard L should be plenty big for you - I'm 5'11" under 200# and I wear a Medium, which is as close as you'll get to a cave cut.

You have no idea how unhappy this post has made me

One month after I've paid nearly the same amount of money for an Otter Brittanic (which is a great suit in fairness) Would have fitted me fine! Arrrrgggghhhhhhhhh

Really sorry for you too Mal - I'm sure this hasn't been a cheap exercise

Mal,

Why not just swap it with DUI? Its a stock suit should be no problem - if you bought it from a dealer and they told you it would fit fine and it doesn't make them change it for you - I would certainly do that for my customers. I am 6'4" and (ehmm) 240lbs and XL is too big for me around the waist and shoulders

DUI sizing is pretty scary. While I was at EE, I tried on a small and found that it was about 3-4 inches too long for me. This is quite shocking since I am 5'8" and the website says that a small fits 5'-5'8". The rest of it fits just fine, despite my chest being a couple of inches bigger than the range.

Did I mention that my size small DUI 400G has legs built like tree trunks? If I fit into an XS, it will be the first time in my life this has happened.
