The CF might be good if you are not diving everyday in that case
it never really dries and becomes lika a Wettex(TM) cloth.

In a very cold environment it freezes solid becoming like plate
mail.

The TLS seems less resistant but is much more flexible and suitable
for traveling. It's my current choice.
