Yeah, but how would you know?

I'm also saying, as a general corollary that flatlock, unsealed seams are pretty much useless.

But yeah for the wetsuit to work in close to zero wind chill it needs to be sealed.

To tell the truth eggs are one thing I avoid buying when I’m grocery shopping. So you may say I’m an intermittent egg buyer who usually lets someone else buy them.

I've got just over two weeks till I go to Indo then when I get back getting my ears drilled so that'll be another 4-6 out of the water.
So I reckon I'll be able to push through until next winter with my leaky, old, short-arm steamer.

Some of these mornings are quite chilly but.
Current routine for the dawny is to suit halfway up at home, put the uggs on and towel poncho. Cup of hot tea to warm the insides on the drive down. Driveby of the lookout. Then out there.

Swell booted today. Very staged. First to 4'+ then to a solid 6' on dark, long heavy lines.

You’re saying you need sealed seams because the air is cold even though the water is boiling. I’m saying you don’t. Clearer?
Don't forget you're talking to a hood wearer.

Even at dawn, I'm only just out of boardies and rashie and into a spring suit.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

Come now stevinald, there's no need to be unpleasant. I'm just struggling to follow the logic of your argument. The rationale for sealed seams is to retain as much of that thin layer of warm water between you and your suit as possible. Essential when the water's cold, pretty much irrelevant when it's like a bath.

Did you study any physics or chemistry at high school?

Understand the difference between evaporative, convective and radiant heating/cooling?

Understand how water acts and cold air on water?

Why don't you explain it to me instead of asking questions. With specific reference to a sealed v unsealed suit
