SiW 160 and FD160 show why material matters at the same height
Use two 160 cm Climax Doll families to compare full silicone and hybrid construction before ordering.

Two families at the same nominal height
The SiW 160 collection appears in CLM Ultra’s silicone range. The FD160 series is presented as a hybrid design with a silicone head and TPE body. A similar catalogue height still leaves room for differences in shape, hardware, surface feel and handling. Ask the seller for an individual model reference in each family to make your comparison precise.
Check the care instructions for each component
The manufacturer maintains care guidance for silicone and TPE. A hybrid uses two materials, so write down how each part should be cleaned, dried and stored. Ask whether the surface finish requires any special products and check the guidance for the assembled model. That can matter more over time than a small difference in the initial quote.
Set up a useful comparison
Request comparable photos and the same set of measurements for both builds. Body width, packed dimensions and weight affect whether a parcel fits where it needs to go. Confirm whether the head and options shown in the reference photos are included. If a supplier quotes a different finish, ask for a photo that matches it.
Keep the written record
Save each product link and the quote date. Identify the body material, head material and dispatch origin on the same line. Include the final price and the conditions for approving factory photos. A short written record is especially useful if a quotation uses a model name or height without stating the full construction.
