  As you will see from my accompanying post,  DUI is a strange company. =
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.

      DUI told me that you can take this garment to your local taylor =
for a nip and tuck without any problems. Removing material is no problem =
but adding is.

        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
