I had one for a couple of months. Even though it was made to measure it
allowed no flexibility or movemment. The chances of doing a shutdown were
nil.

The quality of the suit was so so at best.

Their delivery company that they use (for my area at least) are the worst I
have ever come across. They twice failed to keep appointments and then sent
the suit back becasue I wouldn't do an 80 mile round trip to go pick it up.
It was eventually resent by another courier after I lost all patience and
kept telling Roho to give me a refund.

I have heard people say the suits are OK but I wouldn't touch one again. Get
a decent instead. At least you won't want to replace it in a couple months.

O3 on the other hand.......

the wife had one for a while but did not rate it very highly she now has a
gryphon

I've used one for the past six or seven years and have no complaints. Apart
from a new zip when the original wore out, and two punctures from wriggling
through tight rusty openings, the only maintenance has been to change the
latex seals on a regular basis.

I've had a Quattro for 8 years now and have no complaints at all. Good made
and very reasonable priced. Only had to replace the seals 2 years ago.

It's flexible, but at the same time strong enough to withstand the harsh
treatment it gets when diving in the Oosterschelde (you know: rocks,
oysters, mussels...).

Mostly low quality suit and low quality prices, but some low quality suits
at high quality prices. I've had one, it was rubbish, as is the company.

If you want a good suit from a shop in the same area then I'd recommend
Otter at Diversware House (for both neoprene & membrane types, based in
Bradford). I've had many of these and they are very high quality suits at
reasonable prices. My preference is for the "Skin" membrane material which
is only available from Otter.

If you desperately want neoprene (and don't mind travelling to Weymouth)
then I'd also consider O-three. From what I see they also make excellent
suits, although the last time I looked the prices looked overpriced (bit
like DUI, good but not worth the money).

Cheers
Matt.
