Re: [Paddlewise] Custom Wet suits

Another thought on easy entry for wetsuits is to wear a thin Lycra suit as
underwear.  These are the type of suits divers use in warm water locales, are
skin-tight, ankle to wrist, one-piece zip-ups.  They are neutrally buoyant and
provide no insulation but are slippery enough to make donning a wetsuit (even a
wet wetsuit) much easier.  And no hair product emissions will escape into the
water to warn the fish!
