Go up into God's country for a while and look what happens....
Good to hear from you Dan..... and thank you for explaining and reasoning in this little discussion.....
Now, before the beatings begin, from my 2nd post in this thread, after Grateful Diver already called me on it:
It was a poor choice of words, but I was giving the "readers digest" version, and Grateful just cannot let it go......
ABQdiver - Dan's pretty much told you about our suits. They are popular suit, sold everywhere. My suit was a semi-custom, because of my height. I was measured in store for the suit - measurements are taken in about 25 different parts of your body. But nothing is done for the underwear. And that is where my major problem is. It looks like I have garbage bags on me from the knee down - big, bulky extra garment that has no reason for being there (I said this to the shop owner before this course - the response was "Its industry standard". And it is.... she wasn't lying). But the material has zero stretching ability. I have ape arms - should be able to reach my valves with no problem. In water I had to pull a contortionist fit to strugle to do it, while my buddy Scott, didn't have a hope in hell.
And Wetman, I certainly couldn't get through your post without cracking a smile!
Keep reaching for your knob.....

.... Yep - sorry everyone, I misled you there. Dan never said the gear was crap, but did explain why different gear had limitations or restrictions or were just plain dangerous. I called it crap for short.
