in adition to rod's comments do not look into a natural colored(white or as
close to white as it gets?) driving suit. mine attracts dirt like a
magnet! i use a 2 layer 1 piece suit. after much debate i decided upon
the 1 piece suit based upon some recomendations that a 2 piece might allow
fire up between the upper and lower parts of a 2 piece suit. while they
appear to be so darn much easier to get into and out of, i'll stick with my
1 piece suit.
make evry attempt to buy top quality equiptment for personal safety. you
can not put a "discount price" on human life.
