When you try on the new dry suit that you bought from someone off scubaboard two months ago and
IT FITS PERFECT!
I put it on and was checking the seal, thinking maybe they needed trimmed, so what did I do? I walked out the door in rhen100F heat, jumped in the car and drove over to the LDS. I walked in and the lady waiting there smiled, then did a double take and said "you're in a dry suit", I said "yeah"... Then the owner pops his head out and says the same thing.
They say, don't you want to get outta that thing in this heat? And I say, "yeah, but check these seals will ya? " and my real purpose besides that was to buy some zipper wax and find out how to wax the zipper before I packed it up for the trip to Cali (pool dive tomorrow and checkouts off the boat Friday for my dry suit card)..
He he said the neck will loosen up a little in the cold water, and I hadn't passed out standing there, wrists he said might be "just" on the tight side, but check after the pool session.
Then of course can an hour of shooting the bull, being late for supper, scolded by my daughter for leaving, etc..
but hey, like the LDS owner said "the zipper is worth more than I paid, and IT FITS! "
Darn tootin!
