Thanks Paul, but is not exactly my question, I had a dui 200 already (for about a year) and I consider it bad quality(very bad), I wash it a couple of times with cold water and all the recommendations from the factory, and all the thinsulate make balls at the end of arms and legs, the bare is made in something like cordura on the exterior and is made like the new models of dui, where the thinsulate is inside smaller squares and the thinsulate can't go very far (like all at the end of the arms). The weezle is not an option I don't like it at all, I just want to get some advice about the Bare ones, I can get a dui 400 (the new model, not the old ones) but I get pretty hot with 200 already, so 400 is a little too much, well and put the dui 200 in the garbage can(where it belong to).
