[quote=MN3][quote]YMMV, but either way, be safe out there. I recommend testing your gear out on the shore BEFORE you NEED it to work perfectly. I learned the same way in paddlesports... gear up, paddle flat water, and do wet exits and recoveries with all your gear. Pulling the handle on the spray skirt can be intimidating, and it is worse yet when you're learning in cold water, moving fast, with rocks around you, while you're upside down.

great advice
My friend who has the gor-tex bib (mine isn't) has a pool
he tested the heck out of his bib years before i got mine
I tested mine in his pool in florida (5 years ago or so)
- it was so weird:
at first i felt 100% wet after walking in but it was just the cold water pressing against my skin through the bib
after walking out, and taking off the bib - i was 100% dry<!-- editby --><em>Edited by MN3 on Jan 16, 2018 - 10:05 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
