        FWIW, my wetsuit is made of Darlexx.  Even though it's a formfitting
fabric I still will get a noticeable amount of moisture above my ankle. The
rest of me is pretty dry, though.   This particular suit was a poly pile on
the inside.  Do the seals have this as well?  That could be where the water
comes (wicks) in.
