Other varieties of rubber (latex, for example) are more quickly degraded, but neo will go, too. Ozone and sunshine degrade neoprene as well. For pool work, it is a good idea to use an old sprayskirt you no longer take on tours. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
