OK, what they should do is include a compressed gas charge on the inside on the suit. You get into trouble and pull the pin, *POOF* suit inflates and you just float, haha.

Bah! All concessions to style over function. I don't see that it's any different than a regular dry suit except that it looks pretty, has bunch of extra fabric to flap around, and it probably costs a bunch more. I guess the hood feature is kinda cool, but...

You'll see me wearing one of these as soon as you see me wearing board shorts over the top of my wetsuit. Then I'll be ready for walking the runway and my glamor shots.

For a group that's quick to call everything gay, this sure looks like its just flash and fashion to me.

Style is important. Rollerblading is a good example of a sport that died cause of lack of style.

Stylish riders make other people want to try the sport, or push themselves. How you look is part of that.

Of course, none of this matters to the riders who only care about their time on the water.
