Rather than have said 'ergonomically incorrect, I probably should have written: "A suit not cut to fit anatomically correct for the sitting position..." I'm a trainer ergonomic work station assessor for the Ministry of Health here in BC, so I probably have the word "ergonomic" on my brain. I'll try to edit more carefully next time. Now that my world is back in order, goodnight, and good paddling.
