Dang, ain't that a bit on the expensive side to rig all that up? It sounds like you'd have enough invested in just gloves/cuffs/rings that you'd be able to buy a whole suit.
Doesn't DUI have the option to attach a fixed ring system on their suits?

No and Yes
No, It's not that expensive. It's all about having max options. Zip seals, Zip Gloves, gloves with seals, the ability to change a busted latex seal in minutes. It's not cheap but it's as good as it gets.
Yes, DUI offers attached ring gloves but I don't want them without the zip option and they don't hold a candle to the DC system.
..and further more, with all the money I have in all my gear, do you think I really want to cut corners at the gloves? No. I'm not cheap when it comes to my gear.
Looks like it takes up an awful lot of forearm space. Do you wear your gauges there? Does it get in the way?

No not at all. Not anymore that not having zip seals. Our local GUE instructor has the same set up.
I wear my SK7 on the left (of course) and it's perfectly fine. And on the right my bottom timer is on my forearm. Perfect!
Cool. Nice setup.

Interesting stuff ... I'm waiting for my new suit (DUI CLX450 Signature), which will have zip seals and zip gloves. Should be getting the suit sometime around New Year (I hope) ...

Cool! The zip gloves are great...in the water but it's really nice to have free "naked" hands while gearing up!
This system is the best of both worlds IMO. If you have not used the DC system, you would not believe how easy they are to don and doff.That suit should be awesome Bob. It must be like waiting for Christmas!
