Jeff,
I've got a DUI CF200X, a Viking Pro, and a USIA.
     =

The Viking is a commercial work suit.  It doesn't have all the comfort =

features of the DUI.  The thing I dislike the most about it is the boots.=
 =

 They come in a limited size (I believe only 3 or 4 choices) and almost =

always require an oversize fin.  The boots are extra "tall" top to bottom=
 =

at the toe area to allow lots of room for insulation.  This creates lots =

of "slop" for your feet when finning.  I've got a size 1 with dry gloves =

and relief zipper if your in the market for one.    :-)
     =

I'll take my DUI any day for just about any type of diving!
     =

Try one out and you too will be sold!  Some of the dealers have them =

available for rent or demo.
     =

Later,
Mike
