drainage hole in my wetsuit?

Postby jhuynh » Mon Jan 07, 2008 8:30 am

so i just got a West wetsuit, and there is a little hole undter the zipper that goes straight into the wetsuit. the guy said it was a drainage hole. Is that normal for a winter wetsuit to have a drainage hole?

Normally there'll be an inner skin behind the zip so any water that makes it past the zip flushes out of the drain hole.

Mine has one also. I would say if it is a hole that goes all the way through to your skin there is something wrong.
