that wetsuit discussion...

[BA]

I want ultimate flexibility. The Fire seems to be ok for that temp but is more flexible.

[alakaboo]

Get that then.

[PeepeelaPew]

[BA]

I’ll leave that for the northerners.

Just get a dawn patrol back zip

Pretty good suit.

No doubt the mot flexible suit I now own is a 2mm Zipperless Isurus with premium Yamamoto rubber.

I'm almost tempted to pay the massive premium to get a new one.

[The Mighty Sunbird]

Premium schmemian. How’s the codpiece?

[godsavetheking]

moot

[steve shearer]

You still in a steamer GS?

That must make it difficult to get fired up for tiny little summer waves, no?

[godsavetheking]

Not really.

[steve shearer]

I guess you are used to it.

Do you get a little window where you can wear a spring suit?

Or is it steamers 365?

[PeepeelaPew]

...

[steve shearer]

yeah, 1mm thick.

Godsave is a like a little Michelin man in his 5/4 with gloves, hood and booties in winter.

poor bastard can't feel a thing- it's like fcuking with ten condoms on.

[alakaboo]

I think I'll get one of the isurus suits for next winter and skip the hood. Maybe add gloves to the ensemble.

Hoods suck, I can't imagine why you'd wear one in the northern rivers area.

[swvic]

Touche

Best hood is the vested kind. Unconventional, but best worn on the outside so flushes don't run down your neck. There is the occasional problem of potentially drowning though

[Yuke Hunt]

If built in hoods weren't any good, god wouldn't have made cocks with foreskins

Told you a million times- it stops wind chill.

Perfectly.

Dawn patrollers here get their ears drilled just like in Vicco.

It's cold air whistling past the ears that causes it.

Hoods are the most deluxe way to instantly feel warm.
