 You would have to ask DUI - they are very unusual in the dive business - they 
actually know what they are talking about, and they make a good product - what 
is wrong with these guys? 

 Seriously, I do not know, they do. I use only latex, as I am extremely careful 
not to screw them up, and would rather stay completely dry and flexible . For 
this I sacrifice durability, but then I am not welding or working with tools.
 
  For my application, my suit is the absolute best. For anything else ask DUI.-G
