    The LS rash guard definitely helps me get the suit to slide off easier. I'm sweating in the suit on the coldest days. Its a great suit I have the voodoo also. It was originally an amp3 but had the zipper come off probably due to taking it off in a hurry. They replaced it with a new Voodoo instead of repairing it.

    No I'm not from wavejammer

    Sleazy guy in Seaside, God you're sleazy.

    Anyways, I'm not Mookie, but I'm Jonas G and Scott M from Wavejammer.

    Oh I'm also one of them surf shop employee chicks that does intercourse with people like Brian and Darrin Kelly. You know the cool kids shreddah suffers that ever girl wants to mate with.

    Girls like people with money, fame, power and/or some exceptional skills like doing floaters at Jenks. Yes, all women are superficial, and they always said we were. See, you can't believe what they say.

    One year I had a " dance skin" like suite that divers use in Australia for the jellies. It was thinner than a t'shirt. One could easily slide in and out of the real suite. the problems of those is that it 1, transfers the heat rapidly, and 2, it was a beach to get out of. Plus you looked like a shivering dancing faeg when the main suite comes off.

    another not-so-small issue is when a jelly gets inside it...

    There's no chance of that. When it gets wet, it clings tightly against ones body. I wore it a couple times, then found it was easier getting out of the real suite.

    Under armour works the same as the expensive stuff in surf shops... I would only wear something under a suite if the suite is really old... Otherwise modern /newer suites seem to work better with nothing under. Plus if your wearing a 5 mil plus more- it gets super restrictive.

    The one I picked up was a voodoo too (well the one for girls), even though I've only surfed in it once so far I was incredibly warm! The* only reason I got out of the water was because I was tired but I wasn't cold at all.

    Did it have a zipper in the back to get out of? This is what I was thinking of getting because it took me forever to get in my suit, maybe it's a skill I have to learn but it was tough. I could use all the help I can get underneath haha.

    I'm sure after a few more times wearing / using the suit I'll be a little better at getting it on & off. I like the idea of having to only wear one layer underneath because it's clearly lined well but I can't imagine it's easy to stay decent while trying to get out of it in a parking lot with just a bikini - yikes! :eek:

    Oh, the potential for perversion in this tread is endless, but I shall hold back.
