Replacemet Wetsuit

   Too many pies Buddah   
Actually I don't thing they shrink but they do lose their elasticity (which, I guess, amounts to the same thing  ).

I have a couple of Declathon short john 'skiff suit' types with velcro on one shoulder. Brilliant, and they were around £25 when I bought them. Had them seven or eight years and still great.

	Thanks for the response I think a trip to the dinghy show is on the cards this year see what is about. But no more cheep wetsuits the I bought I think it was a blue rush looked good but after about a season and a half the ar8e was so thin it was like sitting on paper.

	Look at Roosters Thermo long john. Velcro shoulder, got it last Xmas worn it a lot and its great. Very very stretchy so easy to get into and out of with no dislocating joints. Very warm. Wear under hikers and a rooster top. 5* kit.
	Better a crap day in Abersoch than any day at work.

	As I sail on another thread, pleased so far with my Lennon Drysystem long john and top. Stretchy, so no zips but I need help to get the top off, it's so tight. Jury still out on longevity.

	Made the mistake of wearing compression-wear instead of a wet/drysuit on my first few times on the water this year...never again
