I don't take it personally, but I *do* want to make sure the facts are straight.

I agree.

And I know lots of those same people and their experiences, so it would be
hard to argue.  My point isn't that the 200 isn't more durable, it's that
the TLS is not a "wimpy" suit intended for light-duty applications.  There
is a ground in the middle.  From experience, I've put the TLS into a bunch
of wrecks where, if it really was as bad as you implied, I would have been
quite wet.  It didn't happen.
