clx 450 or tls 350

[bsktcase93]

yea im really leaning towards the clx450 thanks guys

While I do not have the 450 I have a suit made of the same material that is VERY tough. If I were to decide between those two it would be the 450. Although the 350 does pach up much smaller for travel if that is a concern at all...

Still love my Fusion the most though...

I have a TLS350 and certainly wish it were thicker.

Coming from someone who owns a TLS350.....I'd get a Santi drysuit next time!

The things I DON'T like about my CLX450:

1) Heavy, compared to 350
2) Takes a LOT of room to pack, compared to 350 (many friends with 350s can pack both drysuit and undergarments in one bag, whereas I definitely need two separate bags)
3) Not very flexible. I can reach my valves, but I know the 350 is just enough more stretchy to make a noticeable difference in ease for this task.

Other than that, however, I LOVE my drysuit. I've had dump valve leaks before, but that happens when you do a lot of short diving through the surf... sand and valves mix poorly, and that's not DUI's fault. Not a single leak in the suit material itself, with probably 250-300 dives through some harsh conditions.

I am looking at drysuits also. I like the TLS350 due to the lightweight and ease to travel with. I also want to take a look at the Whites Fusion with the tech skin.
