    What does "øZ" as a style label?

    I have recently looked at a couple TLS350's with a curious style label. On one suit, the style line on the inside tag reads: "TLSøZ" (that's a zero with a slash through it). I looked at another TLS350 labeled as follows: "TLS350øZ."

    What's the "øZ"?

    Seems it might be "QZ" and stand for Signature Series?

    Hi,

    That's actually QZ and stands for QuickZip. This is the style of self-don. The drysuit zipper goes up, and the overlay zipper goes down. Quick. :-).

    Thank you, Kathy. Yes, I'm quite familiar with the self donning style, as I have owned a TLS350 for years and dive it regularly. My label is long worn off, though. I've just bought a new (used, but like new) TLS350, the one I mentioned with the labelled style "TLSQZ"--someone left out the 350.
