The cf-200 is a bit heavy compared to the tri-lam.  About the $  One of my
buds has a Viking condom, but has ripped the seat twice on the boat while
suiting up.

It makes for a real cold hang when you try to tough it out and then realize
you miscalculated how cold and urgent your releif needs are when you have
38 F water coming in on your bum! I always laugh when I think about it and
then call him and yell at him for not aborting in favor of some patchwork.

I dive alot of jagged edged metal wrecks and have only ONE tiny puncture in
my suit--from a cable which will get through anything.  They aren't as hard
to repair as you might think.  Aqua seal and accelerater will get you back in
the water in 15 minutes.  It *never* rips in normal use.  I've had a car trunk
latch chew on it too--no leaks except my temper.
