RE>>DUI Drysuits                             4/16/98

There are actually 3 new suits from DUI to choose from...the "Signature Series
CF300", the "Tech CF200" and the "FLX50/50".  

o The FLX50/50 is being promoted as "includes the best features of the CF200
and the TLS350."  The top is similar to the TLS and the bottoms are CF200
material.

o The Tech CF200 offers SP sizing, Kevlar kneepads (Mike Wells: there's true
bullet-proof!), 2 Cordura ZIPPER pockets and a telescoping torso.  Choice of
black, blue, orange or a combo of any 2.  Choice of rock boots or molded sole
CF200 boots.

o The Signature Series CF300 is made from DUIs new, lighter and thinner
material.  It's SP sizing, self-donning, Kevlar kneepads, SI-5 glove system or
choice of seals.  2 Cordura ZIPPER pockets and a telescoping torso.  Choice of
rock boots or molded sole CF300 boots w/ankle straps.

o The Norseman is really a hybrid suit.  Shoulder entry, knee pads and molded
rubber boots.  It's a butyl rubber laminate with a heavy duty, high tenacity
nylon applied to the outside of the suit.  They promote this as a "strong
favorite of commercial and public-safety divers."  NON-telescoping torso.

And, no, Mike Wells, I'm not a DUI dealer.  Just an informed consumer who
knows how to read and to interpret information.

Hi Des

 I think called the
> FLX50/50.

I heard that DUI was bringing out a new model that had a crushed 
neoprene bottom half (for toughness) and trilam top half (for 
comfort).  I was told it would be a self donning telescopic style 
suit.  Perhaps this is the FLX50/50

btw I have a DUI CF200 and I find it very comfortable, tough and easy 
to get in and out of.   It does take a while to dry but I don't find 
this problematic.  It is the best piece of dive gear I have bought in 
years.  Good luck ..R
