Well ok, I took the plunge and bought my first drysuit. I dive quite alot in the local quarry and didn't want to go through the winter without diving. I bought a SeaSoft Tx3 and have dove it once (1st dive of the PADI drysuit specialty). I gotta say, it was pretty awesome to be in 52F water and be very comfortable.
I need some advice on the best way to purge air. The air in the suit seems to migrate quite a bit and the purge valve is located on my left inside forearm. It seemed like I had to maneuver to a vertical position before I could release the air. Is this normal? Also, what's the best setting on the purge valve? It can be set so that you must press the button to purge or it can be set so that when you lift your arm, the air will purge automatically. How does everybody else set this? Any insight is appreciated.
