In Reply to: Are Scuba Lab Testers reviews objective and useful in picking gear? posted by moonpieboy on July 11, 2001 at 00:05:13:
Thatwould be a judgement you would have to make yourself. It's all opinion. What I like about RSD is that they tell you who the testers are in many of their reports, they tell you how they do the comparisions, and remind you that the testers opinions are their opinions. I don't take what they say as gospal, but use it as a tool. When I bought my dry suit, I read RSD's latest review, asked ppl's opinion here, and talked to divers on boat trips using their suits. I like my suit, but not happy with the dive shop, they don't like to return phone calls. My fix to that was I stop going to that store, and talked the suits manufacturer at the SCUBA Show. If your going to spend a lot of money on something desinged to keep you alive, take a lot of time, and get all the info you can. (then just go make a spontanious buy)not
