Wet Suit

Went sailing in the intercoastal the other day. Water temp around 60, as was the air temp. I tried a wet suit for the first time while sailing. It was a little confining at first but it kept me amazingly warm and comfortable, even with alot of spray and wind. The cold has become less of a factor when deciding to go out or not. I bought the wet suit at a thrift store for $10!

Proper fit is everything when it comes to being comfortable in a wetsuit. It's essential that you try the suit on before you buy it (or, if ordering online, be sure to ask about the seller's exchange policy). A suit that's too loose will allow for water exchange which means it won't keep you as warm as it should. A suit that's too tight will constrict your movement which will cause you to tire quickly and be very uncomfortable.

I hope you washed that thrift store wetsuit well before using it. It's one thing to wear a suit that you've pee'd in. It's quite another thing to wear a suit that someone else has pee'd in...

Yes its extremly important to not have someone elses pee residue in your suit, Absolutley deadly. And for goodness sake be careful of that dreaded ocean water.

Well then, it's just a matter of time for me.... I didn't wash suit at all. Guess I'll not be buying any green bananas!
