I had forgotten to close the zipper. That sucked! I use the following method to "burp" the air out of my drysuit - 1. Don the drysuit and zip it shut 2. Crouch down (forming your body into a "ball") and pull the neck gasket partly open, allowing excess air out of the suit. 3. If that doesn't get enough air out, try doing it either crouched or standing in the water. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Sun May 09 1999 - 10:57:55 PDT
