    Try to bring them to your local shop for them to use for rentals. Maybe you can get the free wax for life hookup.

    www.freecycle.org

    (Or, put that wetsuite out by the curb & bumpkin aka mshiiii!tzz will gimp on by, bury his face in the used rubber & take it away to his basement apartment.)

    You could keep some of it incase you need a patch for another suit

    HA!
    I was gonna say something similar about other forum members sniffing
    numbskulls think alike

    also, the thigh area can be an ipad sleeve

    OP: what parts became facemasks? not the crotch, right?

    " cut a hole at the crotch and the possibilities are endless " brilliant !! cut a hole in front would be comical , it might even clear out the line up . You should patten that one , Rock out with your (@(k out wetsuites . Now where else in the inter web can you find humor like this , only here the forum of swell info .

    If it's cold enough for a wetsuite, I think shrinkage would be a major problem...

    i cut out the knees and elbows/forearms and wear those pieces when i have to go under the house in the crawl space. Which, since sandy, is much more frequent.

    my old wetsuits are like a homeless man's jean shorts. They just get shorter and shorter until they are no longer functional as a garment, and I start all over. First to go are the sleeves.

    They are good for tying things up. I keep mine in the trunk for when I want to get my Cosby on..
