Maybe you can fax them. Just e-mail them and ask them, maybe you can pay at the post office etc.

By the way they are heat pads you can put in your wetsuit.

There is a company out of NJ that is distributing their own type of thermal pad.... I personally use them and they work great and they are reusable. Check them out:

How much warmer are they?

How much warmer are they? I easily get cold.

I have the Maverick pads but they operate under the same principle as the thermopads. They advertize that they maintain temperature for 4 hrs. I have found that in the water, it is much less than that, about an hour. But during that hour, it makes a tremendous difference to me. Although I can still "feel" the cold, it is not a numbing cold anymore. Right now, the water temp here is 45 deg F on the surface and about 36 deg F at depth. Without the pads, I would only be able to make one or two drops before feeling numb, cold, and seriously uncomfortable. With the pads, I remain comfortable for the better part of an hour in the water. I personally think they work great....
