Dry suit Brand question

if you want the dry suit that swims better then any on the planet the WHITES Fusion Bullet is the best in the world but it comes at a huge price and thats durability

I do not understand this statement at all. I bought one of the first Fusions sold in the PNW (or anywhere, actually) and I put four years and 450 dives on the thing and had three leaks. One I made when I put the p-valve in, and it took me a while to realize it wasn't the install that was leaking. One was a tear in the suit caused by the very long bolts on a set of doubles, when I fell off a dive boat in Florida, and I believe any suit on the planet would have torn in that incident. So really, I had one pinhole leak in four years of very active diving, and I fixed it with a piece of Gorilla tape. I honestly don't know anybody in a DUI suit with that kind of track record. My husband HAS had a pretty good run with his Bare CD2, but it's a much heavier suit and takes much longer to dry, and it was about the same price.

I own two Fusions now. I'm a believer.

The flx extreme suits have that sort of track record. Maybe not as long but I would argue I've used mine in rougher conditions with not a drop yet

Did my first two dives on the SEAC drysuit today. I'm really impressed. I had a very thin underlayer on, mainly to keep the suit off my skin, and didn't get chilled at all. I was able to shed 8 lbs of weight that I have to use with my HOG suit and a 250 gram undergarment. And it is so streamlined that it swims incredibly well. Need another 100 dives on it though to see how it holds up but I'm optimistic.

I meant more in the, "this is quite comfortable way", not the "I forgot to close my pee valve" way
