If you have your suit sized ideally for 400g thinsulate then you will bind up if you add other materials. So if you intend to dive cold make sure it is sized large enough to handle thick insulation. > Does it make sense to put some Cordura on the ass Depends on how much time you spend sitting on your ass. > Related questions > DUI has been experimenting with what they call a cave cut.

I would think that the "cavers cut" is designed for high speed, low drag. Wreckers need more flexibility, IMHO. > Personally I hate Apeks drysuit valves and prefer Si-tech, DUI uses new > Apeks what are they like? On my 450 the valves, both inflation and exhaust, are top notch. > Some cave divers are ordering suits with a Velcro pocket on the left and a > zippered pocket on the right, personally I like zippers, what this all > about. I'm not a caver but I suppose that the large zipped pockets represent a certain amount of drag. If you don't need 2 very large pockets then don't get them.
