    We use the combat suit (TLS 350) for long dives.
I use it for everything, as does my  main dive partner.
Some of our guys use the Harveys, but only one long
dive was done, and both guys got cold. The guys who
use Harveys say they like it better, but none of them
have a custom fit TLS. One of my partner's jobs is to
test all types of dry suits and thermal gear. He uses
only the TLS. 
    The problem is we have noone who has had a good
version of both to compare, and the cost of a custom
fit DUI suit is relatively enormous. All I know is that
it is flexible, warm, dry, comfortable, self-donning,
and their service and support is excellent. Contrary
to popular belief, they are fast if they are a custom
fit, even with C-4. I have never used a neopreme suit,
but when you can do nine hours in Tallahassee with no
trough and stay warm, why try anything else.
   One guy who owns and has tried them all is Jarrod
at Ginnie Springs. He could tell you how to get your
money's worth.    - George Irvine
