Another that I would like to tell you all about is the Bailey simi
closed cell neopreme dry suit. It is a custom built only, no stitching
all glue and taped suit that I have been wearing aggresively for two
years. They use a highly abrasion resistant material and it fits like a
glove. As some of you may remember, Bailey built wetsuit several years
ago and got out of the market to concetrate on the emegency survival
suits for the shipping industry. A few years ago they got back into the
dive industry building what I am considering after two years of
punishment to the dive suit a very fine piece of technical equipment.
Their customer service is also outstanding. They have basically three
different grades of semi closed cell neopreme dry suits. There top of
the line custon suit starts at about $1400. Pockets and p-valves are
extra.
