Select the drysuit you're using or own

These are the suits I know of, I have to exclude a few because you're only allowed 10 options in a poll. They are in alphabetical order and if I missed any let me know and I'll put it in this list. I wish I could have included them all to make the poll more accurate but I did try to get the big names listed.

Owned a Viking Sport. Good suit. Good memories. Dries easily. Easily patched.

Own a DUI CF200x. Good suit. Not enough memories yet. Dries slowly. Easily patched. Love the zip-seals (i know...thin, expensive). Great fit (somehow got a SP model for the base price -20%).

Own a USIA which is currently my backup (was my first DS), and am now diving a DUI CLX450. LOVE the new suit, liked the old one. (Fit is better with the new one, of course, and it has more features, so that's hardly a fair comparison)

The CLX450 is an awesome suit. If my long lost rich relation kicks the bucket and wills me some money I'd buy that suit without blinking an eye.

I use a Bare XCD2 Pro, and the Mrs. uses a Bare HD Trilam. Both good suits and I'd definatly buy another Bare product.

I have a Mobby. I like it because it is really easy to get in & out of by yourself. At least as easy as a drysuit can be.

You can see them here.

Nice looking zipper system. I don't seem to have the flexibility to zip or unzip my self-don by myself. That looks relatively painless.

I wish I could have added all the drysuits to the poll, I'd forgotten about the Mobby's brand so I added it to my list of suits. There's 15 brands I've seen around and have currently listed, only 10 can be chosen for a poll however.

It does seem that DUI has the most so far, but BARE is catching up.
