Thanks for the quick reply I've seen your work so think you know what your talking about. Guessing would just be better to save the money and buy from you or maybe kinky king.

My best experiences have been with SqueakLatex. My worst experience was with KinkyKing.

I think the details are still in this forum somewhere but regarding KinkyKing:
- The service was terrible. He was very quick to respond until he got my money then he disappeared for a while. Some weeks later he said he'd been on vacation in Laos with no internet service. He also promised to give me a deal on the suit to make up for the terrible service then he just stopped answering emails and never gave me the discount.
- He told me the suit was further along than it really was. It took months, much longer than the time advertised on his site.
- The quality of the suit was not good. The seams are glued so poorly that they are actually bunched up in places.

Avoid pretty much anything coming out of China, I used to run a store which sold the chinese stuff (I bought wholesale and sold online), the first few orders were brilliant quality, but in the end the quality went downhill as they got more orders from me, i.e. they were rushing things, and stuff got sent back for refunds. There may be the odd manufacturer out of China that is any good, but take them on personal recommendations only.
You will also notice that a lot of the ebay sellers use the same pics, that's because they resell the same stuff.
Order from Cocoon, Blackstyle, Demask, etc, big names, but you get the quality, I've now had a cocoon suit for nearly 8 years, and it's showing no sign of any problems yet, it'll be cheaper in the long run, buy a suit that's $400 and lasts 2 years, or buy one that's $800 and lasts 8 years.
There are cheaper makers like Latexus or verylatex (australia) but I have no idea on the quality.

I have my stuff put together by a small group in China. It keeps the cost down.
I could use local talent to put my patterns together, but then I would be charging more like Pretty Pervy prices and honestly, The quality of the latex and craftmenship is amazing from my team.
Perhaps I got lucky, or perhaps it's because I send them the patterns to make and quality control everything. But, as people would know that have owned my products from Squeak Latex. Chinese ebay or Latex Catfish it isn't! Good stuff can come out of China, just depends on who it is through and the quality control. (Iphone's are made there etc)
I assume verylatex in Australia are Chinese too (judging by the cost of things). I know they don't do custom and I can't vouch for there quality. Could be great, could be latex catfish...
Kinky King is Chinese too, unfortunatly, he doesn't put the quality control into his product and has sort of let the company fizzle from the looks of things. I ordered a suit from him, was ok. Took a long time and the valves and zip where in the wrong place.
Before I made my own gear.
I used to get my suits from reactor in Australia, but they died. I have to admit I was disapointed with two Coccoon suits i've owned over the years. Both failed at the zippers and had to be repaired a few times.
I hear blackstyle are really good though.
Oh and avoid Darkside Creations in Canada. The WORST inflatables on the market. I'd go chinese ebay before going to them again.
Good luck in your search!

Even though I've never bought from KinkyKing, just looking at how POORLY managed their website is, and how stagnant it's gotten with no updates or new products (and nonexistent YouTube channels), I would say stay away from them. When I was first looking for an inflatable suit, I did contact them. Surprisingly they responded rather quickly, but I was not sold on the quality (and prices) of their content. Rubbercatsuits.co.uk was a good one, unfortunately they're gone, yet the domain still exists "under construction", over 2 years later. In summary, Squeak, you're the best out there man, and I'm not kissing ass here. Your company made my last suit (the HUGE BLOWUP SUIT) and you did not disappoint. *Sniff*..*sheds a tear in awe*.

Awww shucks dude!
When do we get to see some videos of it in action on youtube then huh, huh, huh!!
I do what I do, I design, I make suits happen that appeal to me and hopefully fellow people in the community. I guess that's the advantage of someone into inflation being the one running things.
Thank you so much for the kind words guys, really means the world to me.

That was me. I sold the domain (much to my regret as I recently had some ideas to do with it)
That's a photoshopped head BTW I can show you the orginal with the asian person coming out of it.
This is from Latex Catfish/Aqua Latex or what ever else they go under.
They make TERRIBLE inflatable gear it's why the keep trading under different names and you'll be waiting months or years to get anything. I'm not just saying this because I run Squeak Latex, I can point you in the direction of a heap of better options for inflatable suits.
This is also a (poor) copy of one of my own suits/patterns I offer.
(Gummi is the German word for rubber BTW)
You can purchase, but just do some searching around about Latex Catfish and you'll run into a whole heap of horror stories.
Best of luck! Maybe you'll do better than others did with them.
Hisssssssssssss.. ...uh oh!!
