Dry suit Survey

[Minnetonka]

I see that the question of which company has the best dry suit has been beat to death. Since many of the questions about "the best dry-suit" are very subjective, I want to take another approach. I assume that those of you who have dry suits did a lot of research and came to conclusions based on both quality and price. I only want to hear from those of you who currently have a dry suit, and I only want the following information:

What brand and model of suit do you have?

Dry gloves or Wet?

Front zipper or rear?

Dump valve placement?

Regular boots or "tech" or "rock"?

P-valve or not?
