I have no idea what you're talking about. I would never make fun of your wetsuit..... :la:

(nothing more fun then showing up to a dive with a bunch of dive-in-all-black DIR divers in a massive bright yellow drysuit).
I dunno -- a blue and white Mobby's drysuit with big black pockets stuck on the thighs and a bright orange reflective striped wing works for me :-)

To answer the question quite a ways back, I switch suits when the water gets to about 50 - 52. All the insulating layers I can manage won't keep me warm enough to spend an hour in water in the 40's in the trilam suit.

I'm contemplating buying a new Bare drysuit. I have a latex neck seal now and I'm wondering if neoprene is a better way to go on a new suit. Any comments either way will be appreciated.
