I assume you mean 'Polar Bears'.
If that is the case, I have one, which I bought after a year's diving wet.
It was DS4. I had it mtm, definately worth the extra, (I'm tallish and
skinny).
Latex seals were standard, with a quick change cuffs. I seemed to get
through a neck seal/year, and needed a new zip after about 4 years
reasonable use. It's now 7 years old and still going strong, though
relegated to backup as I got a s/h CF200 this year.

Personally I don't get on with latex neck seals, they seem to rot on me
faster than most, even though I fastidiously care for them, so I changed it
for neoprene which was much better.

I'd rate it like any good piece of kit, if you look after it, during the
dives, you can forget about it.
By that I mean I don't worry or have any niggles about the suit during the
dive.
