I'm not going to be OK with just ok. If it's not 100% we already plan on telling them to take a hike (as long as they fully reimburse Gamble).Originally Posted by LiteHedded
I've always been a DUI fan, but they're having some big issues. There's tons of staff turnover. Once Faith leaves, I won't buy from them anymore.
Cloverleaves look cool! They do a good job protecting your suit in that oh so vulnerable spot. I use them. Gamble just replaced one cus it was worn through.
I was a dui fan for years but than the quality seems to have gone down hill over the last few years.they messed my last suit up so bad that I’ll never do business with them again.i switched to santi,which are pricy but hands down the most comfortable flexible suit I’ve ever owned.i have a few friends who have the seaskins and put them trough hell and have had no issues and love them.if you want the best bang for you buck get a seaskin.

Switched from a DUI tls350 to a santi emotion this year and I must say the santi is a nice suit...very easy to get on and off...had Steve Gamble change out the boots to socks a week or so ago and he mentioned that he could shorten the legs up in the process so if leg length is the only issue for the op Gamble can alter a stock suit.

I've had Steve lengthen the legs of some of my past suits. The price was very reasonable. I really need a custom suit to get rid of the bulk around my body (or I need to drink a lot more beer to fill the suit more).
Based on all the feedback here, I might try a custom DTEK suit. I have one of their stock suits and it's been good to me, though the fit of the stock suit isn't great (but it's no worse than a stock DUI).

I bought a Seaskin custom suit a few months ago. Got 6 dives on it and am very happy with it. I got all the options including zipper upgrades for about $900.
It fits perfect and the neoprene seems durable and was so warm I was burning up in a fleece undergarment. Everyone who see it comments on how nice it looks a fits. The only complaint would be the zipper is really stiff. If you don't want to wait a couple months or are not comfortable ordering from Great Britain then Steve Gamble can certainly help.
You MUST get a cloverleaf if you get the flxmaterial. The crotch strap will absolutely wear a hole in it if you don't from scootering. I almost had a 2" hole in mine before I noticed it and had the cloverleaf added.
It's not annoying at all and now I've had it both ways
Good to know. One of the reasons I'm upgrading is that issue. My tls looks like a glass window in the crotch with all the holes being held in place with aquaseal

I have two flx suits with cloverleaf and they're bulletproof. I've never had a leak in either suit as far as I can remember
I have a custom fit CLX with over 200 dives on it, and I'm still really happy with it. I haven't had any issues aside from the normal replacement of seals and a zipper. My previous suit was a DiveRite 905, and I could immediately tell the difference in how the suit moves through the water; I just seemed to go a little further with each kick. I agree with the above comments that who does the measurements can be key. In my case the measuring took almost an hour, ended up feeling like an intimate encounter, and included questions about how / where I intended to use the suit, what kind of undergarments I wore, and even how much my weight varies. I specified a "Cave Cut", which is a bit slimmer than the normal style. That said there is still room in the suit for slightly thicker underwear if I ever need it. I consider going with the custom fit option to be money well spent.
