Scubash 0 Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Budget makes a difference.Having 2 sets of gear helps them last 5 times longer. Currently I run Aigle Jacket x 2 ( 2 spec) and Gill inshore Bib and HPX (older) offshore. Gill fingerless and finger gloves. I'd suggest you get a good smock rather than jacket. Re PFDs. Come onto Safety at Sea and we can run you through the $ per difference equation between Baltic, Kru and Spinlock. Same applies for tethers too. And if you come this week you should even be able to squeeze a boat show special! Will do! Link to post Share on other sites
Scubash 0 Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 So much advice! Still confused! Will need to check some gear out in person now... Keep it coming! Link to post Share on other sites
Scubash 0 Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Stay away for musto. Overpriced rubbish. Awesome for a season, Good for another, than delaminating sh*te that makes you wonder why you dropped $2k on gear made from tissue paper. Couldn't agree more. Had HPX offshore gear replaced twice, and once more, they're not that waterproof. Followed their instructions for care, and others, and still not waterproof. Very glad I didn't pay retail (or anywhere near) for them. Quit looking at crew and enjoy your vacation in Fiji! Link to post Share on other sites
