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

[mclaincausey]

And then there's the slightly damp suit.

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).

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.

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

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.

Exactly. Talented but shit music and awful vocals.

And for rush, it's hard to have the best drummer in the world, and maintain ranks as one of the worst bands in the world…..you have to give them that

[natehate]

Hey everyone,

I wasn't sure where to put this, so I'll put it here. I was perusing the #ironheart hashtag on Instagram and I stumbled upon this picture. Can someone tell me what model / cut is this? I didn't recognize the light blue arcs.
