New wetsuit technology

Post by john - »

News just in fromTorquay is that a new rubber has been designed that can be put in the drier so wetties can be put on dry and warm in winter


the suit has a slightly oily texture




only downside at the moment is that you cannot piss in them as the urine breaks down the compound that stops the rubber suffering in the drier



thus the big question is about this suit ...is it better to be cold for a few minutes and then experience the blissful warm sensation just when your thinking of getting out or ....be warm but hold on?



with the quality of wetties these days i cant say getting cold during a normal session is an issue

Actually if you have to go and you hold it, you can suffer severe health problems, commonly urinary tract infections and worse.
