As great a suit as DUI makes, they have screwed up their undersuits badly.

Witness: I am 6', 160lbs, basically a medium-tall in reality.  I wear a
Large DUI polarfleece 300 undergarment.  The DUI 400gm is very restrictive
(can't lift your arms above your head to reach your manifold), even if I get
the XL size.  Which, by the way, has enough room for two of me around the
waist.

I wouldn't buy the DUI thinsulate suit.  The fleece at least stretches
enough to be usable.  Check out Andy's Undies for maybe a custom thinsulate
suit, or you could try Weezle (had one of those, didn't find it any warmer
than fleece, and still too short in the torso, but some people swear by
them).

Subject: DUI C4 fit


My wife and I are looking to buy DUI 400 gm. Thinsulate undergarments.
However, unlike the drysuits, which they will custom fit, the undergarments
apparently come in only stock sizes.  The stock sizes of the undergarments
look like they are designed for people who are very large around the waist
relative to their height.  Also, they don't have a cut for women.  I haven't
gotten a response yet on this from DUI, but I would like to know which suit
measurements you athletic and fit folks rely upon to pick the right size
undergarment.  Also, women's suits usually need to be cut differently to fit
as well as men's suits -- which suit measurements do women most rely upon to
get the best fit?  (We will have to order the undergarments without an
opportunity to try them on first since the only DUI dealer here doesn't
carry stock, but only special orders when someone wants something.)
 
Thank you,
 
Alex
