NYCkayaker cold and tuiliq drysuit

[Chalu Kim]

You will need to take into consideration where you are. tropics, or the 
North sea.

My immersion survival suit is for the North sea and therefore it looks 
like a sore thumb in areas with more Sun light than say gloomy Europe 
like Holland or Ireland.

So, having said that, when and if I get my patterns and immersion 
testing right, I will most likely use the same "sore-thumb" color.

By the way, the suit is a dry suit used by the US marine diver and the 
North sea helicopter rescuers.

My suit is only suit that come with pressure adjustment valves so you 
could be parachuting and attached hood and gloves.

Funny how all these things will play out.
