    Dry suits can be fairly expensive, and when it comes to custom drysuit options, they sometimes take months to be fulfilled and you're stuck waiting and waiting to see if the custom measurements you sent in are applicable still once the suit finally arrives. Insert off the rack dry suits. Off the rack suits are in standard sizing, and two of the most popular ones are the Apeks Thermiq Advanecd Dry and the Hollis DX-300X drysuits. How do these drysuits compare to each other, which is better, what are the pros and cons of each, and more are all covered in this video.
    Also, for those that read the description, apologies for being away for a couple weeks. Needed a few weeks off of uploads while I worked on a few projects at home and in my personal life.

    Never even thought about Converse as rock boots, but what a great idea. Thanks for sharing this tip! And as often as you mentioned cookies, now I want a cookie… but not a cave divers cookie, that’d be no good. Nor would good cookies be good in thigh pockets during or after a dive…..
    Hopefully later this dive season I’ll get a dry suit - although so far my Hollis Neotek semidry has served me quite well in the local lakes.
    Hope you had a wonderful birthday!

      The neotek semi dry is great! Both of them

      Converse All Stars are very popular with cave divers. Look at the Poseidon boot. It looks a lot like a Converse All Star.

    Apeks valves, while not as common as Sitech, are pretty common. DUI and Santi use them as their standard valves. They are also an option on other brands like 4E, Seaskin, and Ursuit.
    Most of us don't put cookies in the zipper pocket, they just slip out when you open it and you can't fit very many in it. Instead most of us have a bungee pigtail/loop attached to a bolt that you clip off inside the main pocket. I personally have some flat tools, spare AA sized lights, spare double enders, and my car key.

      Car key pocket is very nice! Haha. Didn’t realize any other brands used the apeks ones, thank you for that!

    😎👍🤿🇵🇭! Wow! A lot of good things to consider and look for in a dry suit! Not much for cold water diving well none at all for now. But as time goes on maybe I may consider it! In all honesty I learned a good bit more about dry suit information 👍! Thanks for the video!

    I like DUI the shop I I use supports them. Hollis makes good stuff it’s the after purchase support that they struggle with Apeks has excellent after purchase support. The SITechmy head wouldn’t fit. The G2 barely fits my head (I know I got a big head) my hands wouldn’t fit oval or round, had to get mine made. We dive quarries in Midwest 50 degrees is a warm day for us

    • @CircleHScuba

      Our quarry warms up in the summer lol.
      Custom when you can’t get off the rack makes perfect sense. But man it’s nice when you can!
