I was looking at the DUI drysuits, and they have two different kinds of trilam material they use, nylon/butyl rubber and polyester/butyl rubber. What's the difference? anyone know? I looked at the website, but couldn't find anything.

That sounds like the cordura would be slower to dry / be colder when out of the water / between dives?nice-diver wrote:... the clx 450 is codura on the outside, I don't personally know but it may be thicker and more durable and the reason two friends i know boought them
I have also heard the cordura makes them a little (too) stiff?
Opinions???

i don't know anything about the DUI suits specifically, but i don't think there's a warmth difference really - i would guess it's more a matter of "hand-feel" and durability (and cost).

I would suspect its not enough to say there is any difference. You rely on the undergarments for that, naturally.divernick wrote:anyone know if there's a warmth difference? Or is the amount of material they use fo the layers not enough to make a difference?
