Hi Danny,

 Merry Xmas!

 Just a quick email about my new wetsuit.

 It is superb! Started my session this morning, air temp +10ish, water temp not sure. I wore an ION hat to start with, for all of 5 minutes. I came off the water to take it off. Sailed the next 2 and half hours very warm indeed.

 

The seals around the legs, arms and neck perform brilliantly. I  can not remember any water coming in and zero flush through the neck, even with a few rinsings and from hurtling into the water from height. My forearms were fine, with no fatigue.

 

This suit will really make a big difference in the winter months. It will mean I can go for moves and learn more with out the fear of getting cold when I fall in! Longer sessions and a greater but also responsible feeling of safety in case something causes me to swim back.

 Great suit, very highly recommended. And again, thank you for your great *service!

 Joost
