[Fot] Drivers suit

[william r tobin]

THAT'S disgusting!!!
I agree about the size thing though. My suit shrunk last winter too. Got a 
really nice Sparco Top 5 on e-bay for a reasonable price.
Same thing happened a few years ago with a nice Quintana Roo triathlon 
wetsuit; blasted thing shrunk over the winter.
