<< Fuzzy Rubber is made of a Polartec Thermal Stretch and a rubberized

blocks the wind, and it dries faster than neoprene."
 
 can anybody offer any comments/advice? >>
I'll second what everyone else has said here. Great stuff but it isn't 2.5 mm 
weight for most of us. RapidStyle is local to DC and she makes great stuff. 
The "nice" thing is that she does custom fit at a very reasonable price for 
us folks with less than ideal measurements. She has a VERY good return 
policy, "make the customer happy!" 
    I've got these kind of bird legs that attach at an unreasonably wide 
place on me so the legs on all my pants are big enough to get both of my legs 
into, literally. That isn't good for wetsuit wear. I'm hoping to have her 
make me both the top and bottom of a suit this March/April so I will have it 
for the cuff, before I can go back to the shorts and t-shirt. I wish I could 
find something on her reduced rack to fit because it is seriously reduced. I 
just have to get over to the shop when it is open.
