thanks for the infor Mr. X (you didnt happen to get that name from the nanny diaries did you

).
ive looked around that site and will contact elios soon to check on prices. before i do though, may i ask why bespoke ecoline? i found some info on the elios site about ecoline but nothing mentiong bespoke... im sure its probably some really simple term and im just ignorant... but is bespoke ecoline inexpensive neoprene?
and is a "patch for arbalete" the same as a loading pad?
i have sent a PM to jimdoe and he gave me his views and some prices on some wetsuits, so if the elios prove too expensive then ill most likely go through him. a taylored wetsuit sure does sound nice though...
annnnd one last question, what is VAT? is it some sort of sales tax in italy?
