It's just about the best thing in the world for wearing after a hard training session down at the track in the winter when you're having a body temp crash. And you can shove a flask of tea into one of the pockets. Some folk know nothing other than how to turn knowing nothing into money.

TheScribbler Apr 2021 3:49pm, 7 Apr 2021 5,401 posts	0 TheScribbler Was there a bigger difference between water and air temperature today D2?
Red Squirrel Apr 2021 4:01pm, 7 Apr 2021 21,769 posts	0 Red Squirrel We had a wind chill factor which made it it bit harder to get warm.
D2 Apr 2021 5:05pm, 7 Apr 2021 12,118 posts	0 D2 The water felt "warm" but there was a cold wind. Maybe I need to consider when and what I eat before the swim.
