I have been thinking about this and wondering what in involved in the
manufacture of wet suits just the material. I assume that oil or natural
gas is the feedstock so as the price of oil/gas rises then can we expect
the cost of the raw material for a wet suit to rise? Are there any
natural substitues that could be used? Sorry for the technical question
but I am hoping that someone in the industry reads this forum and
could explain somewhat the process.
