I'm looking at a used wetsuit that is 10 yrs old, plus fins,mask,snorkel,weightbelt, boots gloves. This sounds old to me, what would i look for to make sure its truly a bargin

i got rid of my old suit and got a new one. the newer wetsuits are made much better and are lots more flexible than the older ones. make sure you get a farmer John suit for its versitility and comfort. unless its almost given to you!

SNIFF TEST IS MANDATORY--pee pee is a suit killer ammonia and thiourea kills'm. If it has fold marks-pass as they are NEVER to be folded. Dry rot and inability to hydrate is the next problem. I have 3 older suits left and they KILL ME now as spolied by newer more flexible and WARMER softer closed cell tech rocks my world. Haven't even used my heater in over 5 years from a daily user for many years. tons a au 2 u 2 -John--farmer John style or nuttn'

Find a farmer john with a zipper in the crotch. Frank at Pioneer Mining used to stock them.

So much easier to just whip it out to drain last nights beer or the morning's coffee than peeling off half of your suit every time the urge strikes.
