Sean, I've been diving a CLX 450SP since October, using the 2nd suit made. I like it. It is very flexible -- almost as much as a TLS. It's not "stretchy", but the fabric is thin enough to not hinder movement. It seems to be very abrasion (& hopefully puncture) resistant. I've not gone out of my way to test this theory, but subjectively, I feel less prone to worry about it. It is substantially lighter than my CF200X, and a little bit heavier than my TLS 350. It dries pretty fast, but not as fast as a TLS. I think the suit swims well, but is not as streamlined as the TLS, and seems to be slightly more bouyant. This could just be due to sizing, though. When DUI measured me (at the factory), I think they measured just a wee bit too large, and the suit is slightly baggier than I would like. My girlfriend measured me for my TLS, and the fit is much more snug. Overall, I'd say that I like the suit. I originally got it for local area diving (San Diego), where I teach and do a lot of beach entries, etc. I like it for that, since then I don't have to put more stress on my TLS, which I save for cave trips. I think the CLX is pretty good for banging around on boats, too. I have not -- and probably will not -- use it in the caves, since I have (and love) my TLS. I think JJ mentioned something about having a CLX on order, so I bet he might be able to give some good input on "cavability" here shortly. Hope this helps, Perry ps: It looks sorta cool, too... -----Original Message----- From: Sean T.
