Worth bearing in mind that I think the elite+ is only 0.7kg heavier than the lightest suit (emotion). Buying a lighter suitcase (or traveling with soft luggage) will easily net you that difference, if travel is an issue
Nice review, Andrew! I'm in the market as well-going into C1 and T1 I want a bit more durable suit. I'm also looking at the DUI FLX Extreme, excited to see your next review! #subbed
Great review. I’m heavily considering the ELite plus / CLX450. Currently I own the Cortez... it seems extremely durable but lacks in the flexibility and mobility aspects which are clearly extremely important. What DUI model will you review? I missed it if you mentioned it! Again, great video... thanks for your contribution.
Nice job on the comparison. I’ve been a long time DUI Drysuit owner and am looking for another suit, because everybody needs several suits, right? Anyway, I’m pretty sure that I am going with the E-Lite+, but was wondering why you made the choice for the zipper to go from the right shoulder to left hip on your last two suits, as apposed to the “traditional” left shoulder to right hip? I know it’s an option and it is one I haven’t given a lot of thought to. Thanks.
Which boots are those on the eLite? There's a few options available. Which ones are those? Also, you can eliminate channeling at the wrists by pulling the wrist seal higher up the forearm. But I'm sure you already know that well. LOL!
Very nice review, Andrew. With a DUI TLS350, you can get a cave cut for streamlining. Santi has a slim cut option. I have a Santi made to measure slim cut. But it is way too tight to be worn with 400 thinsulate undergarment. So I only use it as a summer suit with a 200 thinsulate undercut or less. How does a standard cut Santi suit compare to DUI cave cut? Thanks.
I’ve never gotten any slim cuts in any suits. I’ve always got them cut to my measurements. I’ve fluctuated in weight so some are a mighty tight right now..I blame covid 🤣 As far as the cut with Santi vs dui, I think the Santi cut is nicer and more fitted. But I really like both suits
So the classic E.lite is an excellent choice for cave diving. Unfortunately it only comes in black for the main color of the suit. I would have gotten that if the new elite didn’t come out.

Do you still like the elite plus? How has it held up in the caves? How does it compare in practice to the elite?
Yeah it’s great. It’s prob less durable than a standard elite but better than the emotion and plus
@@caveshark any major issues with the durability ?
@@jayz8812 none.
Can I ask about your thoughts on the Elite (classic)? It would have seemed the better choice for caves, no?
