Member 231 | Subject: RE: New Wetsuit Rule I initially believed mine was illegal but in actually READING the manufacturer's website mine is 5 mm in the front and 3 mm in the back... I panicked because I thought it was 5.3 mm all over! Patti |

I don't remember any others having more than 5mm thickness on them. This is my understanding as well, but it raises an interesting point. I'm not familiar with diving and surfing suits, but it's not uncommon to see someone post asking about their use and occasionally see them at races. I'd guess that some, if not all, of them would be thicker than 5mm, making them technically illegal too, even though their design tends to restrict swimming motions at the shoulders.

Expert 1169 Charlottesville, VA | Subject: RE: New Wetsuit Rule I wouldn't give it a second thought. Your suit is undoubtedly legal, and nobody's going to be checking anyway. ;-) Have a good race! Ken |
