They mix a high quality construction and design with poor internal Corp communications. I get the feeling dealing with them that the left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing. As I mentioned DUI told me that they have customers go out and get their Thinsulate garments tailored all the time.

Something about once you start messing with the battens of thinsulate, it's hard to get it back in place. Ah, maybe she wasn't a great tailor, and maybe you could go to a place that specializes in outdoor gear, but that was my experience. DUI really ought to un-clusterf*** their underwear sizing instead. Have you ever looked at their size chart? If you're over 5'1O", you are an XL (!), and you'd better have a 42-44" chest and a 42" waist. Have they ever heard of tall and skinny, which doesn't seem to me an unusual combination?

Com" <techdiver@aquanaut.com> 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.)
