No problem, I'm in the market for a new drysuit myself, and I almost went for the D1 until I read that thread. The thing I ask myself abot the black ice is, could that suit be too warm? I was in 57 degree water this past weekend, and that suit would have been great with no undergarment. But with that lining, I'm afraid anything warmer than that, the black ice might be a little too warm.
That's a great price if that's your size, and it looks like a great suit! I haven't read anything on this board about it, but it might warrent a search.
It seems that the most common complaint is restricted movement with that 3d mesh which would be the only reason for me to go with the suit. Thank you TechDeep for your advice.
saxplayer1004, I am very much intrigued by the Pinnacle Black Ice Drysuit. My only concern is neoprene seals. Not sure if I like that. But the price is amazing. I wonder if it's possible to replace seals with latex or even silicon. Will do some research.
Thank you everybody for great comments. Got to love ScubaBoard
owner of cave adventurers dives one in the FL caves all the time.
You can replace the seals to latex easily and I think there were still issues with the silicone neck seals last I checked because it doesn't bond to anything so you can't glue it. They were using cuff rings for them on the wrist, but that would obviously be a problem with a neck seal. If you want a latex seal just ask Mike to put one on before he sends it to you. Might be a bit extra, but if you want it, he'll do it.
