Re: new suit

hey Sara

the whole reason I was undecided was after seeing the fab pictures of you in your silver suit!! I don't think the guys would call them "sins" : )

Re: new suit

Blue abstract cammo
Hard to choose just one, eh? What about buying several suits?

Re: new suit

I love silver suits and sadly I seem to remember the smurfs and there was only one smurfette so this discounts blue.

Silver - will that attract sharks? I remember watching TS swimming with sharks and she changed suit because the sharks rather liked the silver one, so it depends is it just for Chepstow or are you going to be going to Dahab?

Your colouring could look great in the red - I always envy people who can wear red can you imagine it with my hair? Yeuch!

BUt out of the choice of three I would go for black but I love the patterned idea - pattern would be a lot more fogiving than plain silver - I am now thinking of me not you here, I still have to order my suit.

Re: new suit

When I wear my black suit people look at me and think "jeez, Batman has really let himself go!"

Re: new suit

Sam!!!! if you are going to buy a smoothskin, and you are an active girl like me, and dont sit on the boat carefully and basically help with all the lines etc then a smoothskin is not for you.... check out my latest bit of tailoring!!

I kneeled down on the boat to do something and it ripped from the knee to the crotch

Re: new suit

I went for the same as my last 3 suit(s) in the end - classic black, smoothskin, heiwa but got black coating on the inside rather than just open cell as one of the issues with my current suit is that it gives me a friction rash - I'm hoping the coating will stop that but haven't got the suit yet

sorry for being boring! Just seen some photos of someone in the red suit and it looks quite cool!

S

PS Sara - I rip them regularly! and have got very handy with a tube of black witch - but still the warmth and glide of the smoothskin make it worth it.
