Looking at an Andy's drysuit, anyone using one of these have an opinion they
can share?  Looking at this vs. a DUI.

TIA,

Go for the Andy's.

It's a far better suit at a far lower price, and they actually care
about their customers.

I second that on all counts.  DUI cares for their prospective customers
but once they've got your hard earned cash in their pockets you're scum.

I bought an Andy's with a diagonal front zipper in the spring, and like
it so far.  Since it's my first dry suit, though, I have no way to
compare it to any other.  Andy's has a lot of standard sizes, enough
that I'm sometimes asked whether mine is custom-made (it's not).  It
took at least half an hour to take all the measurements, and it fits
well.  I find the elastic in the suspenders a bit soft for my liking but
that's mostly a matter of personal taste.

From a service standpoint, when the inflator valve failed, Andy's sent
the LDS a new one in about 3 days, no questions asked.  And I'll be
sending it to them over the winter to downsize the boots (my fault, not
theirs), for which they will charge a grand total of $125, which seems
pretty reasonable...and they will send the likely boot sizes to the LDS
for me to try on before it gets sent in.

Thanks guys for the comments.  Everything I've heard about the suits, here
and elsewhere,  have been nothing but good.  I will probably go for the
Andys then.  I've heard horror stories from more than one place about DUI's
poor customer service.
