Norman Thomas posted a story about getting cold in his CF200 dry suit...He said he will not pee in a dry suit again. Some comments: Norman: you mentioned that you will never pee in a dry suit again, which is fine, although a condom catheter and P valve work well as do Gran'pa's (Attends are the favored brand up here in the frozen north). But the real problem I see is your remark about never drinking before a dive...Bad move mate....and you know why...If you are getting too cold in your suit, either pack in more underwear...thinsulite seems to work better than the old polypro wooly bears...use argon...or wear a 3mm wet suit as underwear....pack on a bit more weight so you can pump in more gas....If you need to pee, take precautions. But please don't get into the water without taking plenty of fluids...preferably water or apple juice.......take care and thanks for the tale...by the way, what detergent do you use to clean your suit? :-] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet: steve.lewis@pr*.or* (Steve Lewis) This message lovingly processed in beautiful Muskoka, Ontario, Canada by: PrimeTime BBS - (705)689-1757 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
