Being a water lover, as many as on here, Ill ask one question " whats the problem with getting wet when you go in the sea"? Yes its
cold at times, but even when u ware a dry suit you end up wet inside it anyway, if not from leaks from sweat. Each to there own I
geuss, and I totally understand the camper van guys and drying problems, etc, but personally I wear a wet suit, chuck it in a tub,
leave it in the tub then put it back on next time I go out, bit nippy at times, but hey ho, If I wanted to stay compleatly dry, and
100% warm, Id play darts or indoor football. LOL. A good steamer keeps youy massively warm, I quite often come in from kite surfing
with totally dry patches inside my wet suit. A big issue is having a well fitting wet suit, like dunk was mentioning Snugg wetsuits are
the best out there, especially as they offer a custom service. From a safety point of view a wet suit is always better. Surfers have
survived over night in wetsuits when stuck in British seas, a faulty dry suit could be a death sentence.

yep Shem my Spartan fits like a skin and is fantastic for warmth and for short durations but i needs to peeeeeeeeeee; too much beer i
guess, so the dry suit allows me to come in after a few hours on the water, take it off have a peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, a coffee and
some snack then put it back on and go out for another few hours.
i think because i only get the chance to go out on the water after driving 3 hours and usually only at the weekends i want the luxury
of spending as much time on it as poss.......ok for you local guessers who can just pop down the road , or even over the road for a
quick sail.
when its warmer i do wear my shortie all the time or even just my shorts. sometimes.
LOL Dunk have a good day at the course and will pop in to see you next weekend?
