I'm wanting to buy my first drysuit but currently torn between an SFTech and an Otter.
I've heard great things about both companies and their suits, so I'm wondering if the SFTech justifies the greater price?
I plan to use this suit for tech diving in the tropics where I'll be taking up to four bailout tanks and diving from cramped little fishing boats so it's likely to get bashed around a little bit, but it's not like I'm diving wrecks or caves. I'm therefore wondering if kevlar would be overkill, and I could get away with Otter's Travelight? Or is it better to go for something that is tougher than you think you might need?
I'm happy to hear other drysuit recommendations as well, but only if you have also dived using either of these two drysuits.
Cheers
