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.

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
