Cold Hands Survey

[ismith]

Dear all

In the this first year that I have launched this Ianovated wetsuit which has a breath powered hand heating system
please contact the forum owner for permission to see if he is ok with your self promotion url
So far I have just been selling to windsurfers , kite surfers, SUP boarders and dinghy sailors.
I would like to work out how far north I need to go before this system starts to apply to surfers. On the English south coast I am getting mixed responses as to whether gloves on their own are enough. On possible bonus of this system is it would enable you to wear gloves that just have a very thin leather palm rather than think neoprene which frustrates grabbing the edge of the boards.

I would also appreciate comments about how far off the suit design is - its a semi dry flush fit below the chest but baggy across the shoulders and along the arms. In the existing sports that i sell to, initial complaints about the suit being too floaty in waves are soon withdrawn because of the suits other compensating factors.

Your comments would be much appreciated. Feel free to take the mick, I know at first glance the suit looks mad, I now know what catheter is in eight languages! However the suit does solve a big problem for many water sportsmen. You help to assess its possible migration to surfing is appreciated

Thank you
