They seem to remain happily in a closet for years waiting to be used with no issues other than an occasional sticky zipper and the tendency to inflate the midsection more and more every time you put it on. Plus there are various styles, the Farmer John, the Shorty, the Jacket. The only style I don't own is the Steamer which would be a good addition if I did actually return to frostbiting.Tweezermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559514473959503645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4273883632460433399.post-5961250684414568752015-12-13T14:46:26.911-08:002015-12-13T14:46:26.911-08:00Looks bleak and cold but a hell of a lot of fun!

But I did for some strange reason actually buy a drysuit, thinking I would get some use out of it, 'cause even though the outside temp is warm to hot when I'm sailing in the summer, the water temp remains such that I'd probably perish after about 5 mins immersion! Trouble is the drysuit has rather large feet material and I don't know if I'd be able to stuff it into my dinghy boots or even sailing wellies. Guess I'll have to try it out next year.Dieharddinghysailorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06416371587101106236noreply@blogger.com
