RE: [Paddlewise] "Shrunken Skirt"?

I had the same problem with a wetsuit.  Hadn't worn it for years, and then I
went to put it on and it seemed to have shrunk a couple of sizes.

Couldn't have been that I put on weight...... Nah.....

Seriously though, I have been told that neoprene shrinks if it hasn't been
used.

Hi,

	Okay, I finally got out in my kayak Sunday. for the third time since
my 
brain injury, I could not get my neoprene skirt over the cockpit coaming...

	It has been about a year and a half since I could get the silly 
[ooops-important] thing on.  Is it possible that over this time, it might 
have shrunk?

	After getting out of my boat, I took the skirt off my body, and
asked 
another fella to give me a hand putting it on the boat, and then put my 
cockpit cover over the whole shbang...

	Has anyone else had this problem?
