The good old: Post a picture of yourself thread!

Eh, sort of. It\'s not really the wearing of the wetsuit that\'s so bad. After 5 minutes of being in water, the thing is absolutely cozy. It heats up and just feels wonderful, even if I\'m in the water. And on the small boats we have, there really isn\'t enough movement to be a problem.

It\'s the walking / running part that is deadly. Every 20 steps or so it\'s a quest to try to stretch out the fabric in the crotch area.

But it becomes a compromise type situation. Do I want to stay warm at the expense of playing ping pong with my balls? Or do I want to actually have room down there but freeze them off?


Plus it\'s not a full wetsuit, it\'s just a torso one. Kind of like a pair of overalls. So my upperbody is still kind of cold.

Oh, and someone left an anonymous comment... The reason my chest looks so big is because I\'m wearing a lifejacket underneath my windbreaker.

Edit:
This is me sailing at the naval academy.


I\'m in boat number 12.

And a picture of my wetsuit.
