Yepp. Provided you get out of the shell, on a lets say 3 hour surface
interval the Weezle is dry. Bonedry. The dui is not. If youre on a boat
for a couple of weeks with the DUI and you DONT have huge dry room or
engine room to hang your stuff the dui will start to show signs of mould
in the second week. If you get it soaked due to a leak youre done. 
You soak the weezle it will dry over a night.  

On the flooding bit. I've purposly flooded the weezle after I received
it just to know. It works pretty much as well as DUI. On another
occasion I had a leaky glove due to cut (scrapy stuff on the shotline)
The hand was cold (during the deco (about 8 degC) but it wasnt until I
came up and out of the suit I realized that I was also completely soaked
along the left arm and side. So they work pretty well for the stuff that
we do.

Regards /Esse

So you are saying that any perspiration or condensation on the suit 
will dry because between dives you get out of your shell?  I'm afraid I 
don't understand.
