Subject: Re: about to dry off
I've had a DUI FLX 50/50 since April, and I'm very happy with it.  The torso
of the suit is trilaminate, and the legs are crushed neoprene.  I had
previously owned a DUI TLS 350 suit.  After many years of hard use, I was
seeing some wear on that one.  

I don't notice a difference in the feel of the suit during the dive.  The
CF200X (neoprene) portion of the suit takes longer to dry than the TLS 350
portion, but that's not a big deal.  

I chose this suit because I thought the crushed neoprene in the legs would be
more durable.  Because I teach recreational scuba courses, the knee cap was
the main wear point in the old suit, but after 9 years, I have no complaints
about the performance of the TLS 350 either.

By the way, I use this suit for cave diving, as well as open water dives.
