    Bare SB Extreme or DUI FLX Extreme?

    Looking for experiences with either or both, opinions, information, whatever you got...

    It is easy to eliminate the Bare SB because it does not have good, usable pockets and you can't add them. The FLX Extreme is a good quality suit but I personnaly sold mine and got the SANTI E-Lite! Best suit I have ever owned. So while you are checking out suits, look at this:

    E.Lite Drysuit by Santi

    * Awesome Construction
    * Great Comfort
    * Best pockets I have ever used (2 pockets come w/suit)
    * Best boot design on the market (Flex-Sole Boots come with all their suits)

    Thanks Wayne. I had never heard of Santi until I started reading this board. Heard nothing but good things about them. They seem kind of pricey to say the least, but so are the other suits I mentioned. Will check them out.

    Reason they may seem a little more is because their suits come stock with options that others charge more for. If you price out FLX Extreme with 2 pockets & turbo soles you'll get to about the same price so then start looking at construction and there is no comparison. Just got back from DEMA (industry Pro show) and SANTI's whole Drysuit line was the Buzz of the show!
