Zeagle Dry Suit ?

I am interested in purchasing my first drysuit. I am very interested in the Zeagle drysuit but I cannot find very much information on them in the way of reveiws or comments. Are these new to Zeagle? would this be a good entry level drysuit for a new diver?
Give your reveiw if you dive one.

Thanks Dave

I think the Zeagle drysuit is made by USIA. I have the USIA Techniflex and the two suits look identical. I may be wrong here but they sure do look the same.

With all these questions, just curious why you're "very interested" in this one?

My best piece of advise is to look for a DUI Dog Days near you and maybe take a PADI drysuit class to become familar with drysuits before buying one. These suits are expensive so you want to know what you want before buying one. Try out (dive) as many different kinds as you can before making a decision on which one to buy. The type of diving and enviroment also should come into the decision making process.

Price is one of the main factors, followed by the front entry, and that I already own a Zeagle Ranger LTD and regs.

I like the quality of the Zeagle items that I own. I plan on attending the local DUI dog days to try their suit out but they are really pricey.

I would still lke to hear from someone that has dived in this suit.

Just attending DUI Days does not mean you have to buy a DUI suit. Try the tri-lam, neo and crushed neo to see what you like. You will also want to try the front and the rear entry to see what you like. If in fact the Zeagle is made by USIA, it is a very well made suit. USIA offers a lifetime warranty on their seems and the customer service is outstanding. I had to have a valve repaired and they replaced both with the new upgraded valve at no cost. I also had the suit back in less then two weeks from when I shipped it to them. There is nothing bad I can say about USIA.

Dave, First wanted to give you a shout out in the "Berg" go Red Raiders! I've dove a number of dry suits over the past 30-years, Viking, DUI and Henderson. Without a doubt Viking is my favorite, with DUI running second and Henderson last. If you can, take a drysuit class and then try to rent to see what you like. It's been about 23-years since I lived in MA and I don't even know if Ronnie & Karen are still running Andy's Sport Shop, if they are, see them, they are top notch people. If not, you should be able to hit a good shop with rentals in Danvers or Beverly (can recall the shop names).
