Ditto. I just sold my five year old Sport Classic suit and the seams were just fine and it kept me quite dry. I never had to patch or repair it either. I sold it because I had purchased a new Pro suit. After I bought the new suit, I actually put them both up for sale (sell one, keep the other) as I realized the Sport suit was still in great shape and would serve me just as well. But the first serious inquiry was for the Sport suit, so that was the one I sold. >As far as swimming in the Viking, I've never had a problem getting >around in the water while wearing mine. Ditto again. The feet are big, but XL Scubapro Jet fins work great and are used by many folks on this list. One of the local shops here is going to get in some TLS-350 suits to try out. I look forward to giving one a tryout and who knows maybe I will end up with one. Apparently DUI has a pretty aggressive rental program and there are a fair number of shops that rent them. We have another local shop that rents DUI suits, but the larger suits are the CF suits while the smaller suits are the TLS suits. I understand care and repair of the TLS suits is pretty easy as well. OTOH I know several folks who own the CF suits and are very pleased with them. Take care, David (BAMA) Hale _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
