They do not have the buoyancy problems, but they are cumbersome and
heavy, and they do not hold together like you would think they should.
They are salso restrictive. 

I like the TLS 350 - I want flexibility.  I want to NOT feel the suit at
all. Most people are paranoid about their fragility, but I take care of
that by having three of them in perfect condition all of the time. I
like to dive with the right stuff, and will not compromise.

Mine are all tightly custom fit . If I get holes in them, which is easy
wiht the thin material,  I overnight them to Mark and have them back two
days later ready to rock. Wearing some burlap bag or resrictive mess
dose not cut it with me, I do not care if I have to send it back once
per week. I care about the time I am diving in it, and that to me is
worth have the exact suit, not some nightmare comprmise that was dreamed
up for people who crawl on the ground or otherwise mutillate their
suits.

I also do not teach diving, so only dive my primo stuff. Some of the
guys who teach are always trying to find some suit that will not get
damged. That means you sacrifice the comfort. When I dive, other than
for fun, it is going to be a long day in the water. I want the good
stuff. I will bet anyone that I can beat them in the 100 swimming or
running, with my drysuit and C-4 on vs them in anything other than a TLS
350.
