I thought about that too but then all I could think about was the episode of Friends when Ross had on the leather pants and tried using the powder to get the pants back on and the comedy ensued. :lol

Re: Putting on a wetsuit...
Hey Tripp,
It is hard. There are tricks to it like pulling up in certain places to get it on and same with taking it off.
You just have to do it and figure out what works best for you.
I would suggest a little powder getting in. Getting out is easy because of the sweating you'll be doing.
Just do it and you'll figure it all out bro.

Re: Putting on a wetsuit...
Doesn't the powder get on the outside of the suit when you use it? I think I might try some under armor or a one piece body suit first and see how that works. I am also trying to get one of Davids undersuits. Maybe the 2 piece deal will be easier to get in and out of.

Re: Putting on a wetsuit...
The Under Armor might be a practical way to make getting the suit on easier, but given that I'm wearing a wetsuit--with latex armor--I don't want to put on one more thing to add to the heat buildup.

Re: Putting on a wetsuit...
While the UnderArmour might make on/off easier, the fact that I'm already wearing a wetsuit, plus attached latex armor, means I don't want to put on one more thing to add to the heat buildup.

Re: Putting on a wetsuit...
Powder can get on the outside but then you just wipe it off with a damp rag.
Jezzz... you are just Mr. Negative. :beatup
Now, quit being such a damn pansy boy and go suit up! :nahnah

Re: Putting on a wetsuit...
If you get the under armor HEAT gear, it pulls sweat away from the body and keeps you cooler. Athletes vouch for it and I can personally; not just from costuming. I wear UA compression shorts and a UA long sleeve shirt for BJJ and running. It makes the world of difference compared to cotton etc..
I got my insotherm yesterday and adhered legs on it today. I don't see why the insotherm is being recommended. That thing is broiling hot. I had sweat literally running down my arm and dripping on the floor. "insotherm" means "keep heat in" right?

Re: Putting on a wetsuit...
Either a nylon/lycra bodysuit or the Under Armour two piece system...
The. Only. Way. To. Go.
When you're going for comfort, that is. Everything else, is just plain HOT! :beatup
