It's called a WET SUIT

[Giles]

Not when it's a dry suit…..

[JCar2666]

You use it to get WET.  Therefore it'll always be considered a WET SUIT by always correct USA

[Giles]

No.  A dry suit keeps you dry.  A wet suit is useless for commercial work in our climate.

[riffblaster general]

there is definitely a distinct difference between a wet suit and a dry suit.

[mclaincausey]

And then there's the slightly damp suit.

[JCar2666]

A wet suit keep you dry as well.  Maybe not for G's climate but it does the same thing.

Not sure why, but I could listen to chicks talking about how much they hate Rush for hours. It cracks me up for some reason. Has anyone ever met a girl who didn't hate, or perhaps who even liked, Rush? These chicks at this bar are going nuts (one of their tunes is playing).

[Giles]

Nope.  A wet suit keeps you wet and heats up the trapped layer of water (or pee if you need a rapid warm up), a dry suit keeps you dry….

@Giles:

or pee if you need a rapid warm up…

That one's called "Pulling an injunjack"…

[JCar2666]

My bad

[Seul]

Just don't let anyone ever pre-heat your wet suit for ya…

[mclaincausey]

I just put on a jacket, maybe jog in place… Stand next to a radiator, go inside... But to each his own. Pretty sure pissing yourself is a great way to create a layer of stinky ice round these here parts.

@JCar2666:

My bad

NP - come to UK at this time of year to dive, and you'll be bitching that a dry suit isn't warm enough…..

i've known a bunch of chicks that like rush
i on the other hand despise them

G is right.  Dry suit is completely dry.  Need it to dive in cold/icy water (if ice diving is your thing).
It's cold in Toronto today.  -21 C and wind chill -32 C!

Nate,
Are u sure said "chicks" arent time travelling dudes from the 80's with the voices of Geddy Lee?

[mclaincausey]

That was seemingly their main point of consternation/rage with the ongoing music (I think the name of the loathsome song on the PA might be "Limelight"). They were like "god that screeching is fucking terrible!" I still chuckle recalling it.
