I was told long ago to not pull on my hood to get a wetsuit off, because I'd damange the suit. I pull the hood anyway because it's the easiest way to take of a wetsuit... and usually, the elbows and knees are worn out long before anything happens to the hood... at least that's what's happened with my other old suits. A few weeks ago, I noticed that I managed to rip a hole in the shoulder of my wetsuit, where the hood is attached... well, I had been warned.
So it was time to start thinking about a new wetsuit... which is fine, because even without the hole, the crushed elbows and knees would have had me frozen this winter anyway. I had been thinking about these new super awesome Patagonia wetsuits that are out right now... they're supposedly super high-tech and really warm... eco-friendly, merino-wool-lined, life-time-warranty and all that good stuff. Guess what... they don't make women's wetsuits for frigid water. WTF?!?!
Apparently women don't surf in frigid water. Patagonia... never bought anything made by them... and now it looks like I won't ever.
