for tomorrow, like? or to buy?

I'll see how it fits tomorrow and if you're looking to offload it I may take it off your hands.

Lisa...
there are 2 types of watersports participants:
those who pee in their wetsuits and those who lie.  :P

Urine reacts with neoprene to create an off-colour bubbly mess. Check around the crotch. Don't believe him if he tries to tell you that the yellowy bubbled part is glue. That's an old excuse we use when offloading a wetsuit.

I've worn that wetsuit now, fits fine, didn't get a chance to check for bubbling, but it turns out it's a long john wetsuit so now I'm going to have to get my hands on a cag too. doh.

*sigh* so much money. maybe I can just build up a tolerance to cold.

Diarmid

If Saturday is anything to go by, you're gonna have to build up quite a tolerance.

Arf!

no, I'm just trying to build up that tolerance quickly before winter sets in.

it's all about frequent cold topups to keep your body strengthening its defences, such as you get from 1 swim per mile or so.

you'll see why I did this come January.
