    Default Freezing woman needs warm undies

    for California Pacific diving. Does anyone want to sell the <<new and improved>> DUI 400g Thinsulate (with the stretch panels) or a Bare Med/Lg thinsulate under?

    The old DUI prevented me from reaching valves, bending knees and arms, and other things.

    PM me if you have the goods! I'll be in cave country over thanksgiving.

    I can't be of much help, but on an interesting title.

    Artic made by 4th Element:

    You can layer it as needed and it allows for more flexibility. Like you I could barely reach valves when diving OC with a 400, ditched it in favor of the 4th Element undergarments and have not looked back.

    Dive safe,

    Have you checked the DUI website for their imperfect sales? I bought a DUI 400g there for $100. As it turned out, I didn't like it, but I was able to resell it for the same price easily. There are some very good buys there on things that have only cosmetic blemishes.

    I would personally recommend the santi undergarments before anything dui
    i've never seen anything so flexible and well thought out. and less expensive as well

    For what it's worth, I have the Santi, the DUI Thinsulate, and the DUI Polarstretch. I agree the Santi is well made and well thought out. But, the Polarstretch works much better for me.

    Fourth Element and Santi rather than DUI any day of the week and in any conditions.

    I have to agree on the Polarstretch, it's a pain sliding the suit over the Polarstretch, but it's sure nice and toasty, plus very flexible.

    The 200/400G slides into a suit well, but the flexibility is hampered.

    There are 3 kinds of people in this world; those who are good at math, and those who are not.

    Personally, I like the Whites MK3, which is built very similarly to the Santi but is significantly less expensive. It has far more mobility than the DUI 400g -- I don't know about the new DUI undergarment, but it appears to be built similarly to the White's.
