Wetsuit Blog

Back in 2014, when I was at the beginning stages of designing my first wetsuit prototype, I was working on a scuba liveaboard.  My manufacturer called me while I was out to sea and asked, What size should we make the prototype?  From that size, they would grade all other sizes.  Since I was the one testing it, I gave them my measurements and told them to call it Medium as that was what I considered myself; At 5'6" I weighed 140lbs, 36C bra size and clothing was about 8-10 - it fit me perfectly.   When I received the wetsuit...

I Truli love connecting with other passionate water woman. Looking back at the last 3 months, some very interesting and (dare I say it?) "life-changing" things happened. I kinda love it when life itself shakes...
