[Thinsulate]

didn't want to be the first to say it.<

No. Thinsulate is simply a trademark of the 3M company. One of its fibers'
properties is that it can transport moisture away from the body. Another is
that it retains some of its insulating properties when wet. Something that
cotton definitely doesn't do ("kotton kills"), whereas wool also does to
some extent.

Thinsulate and related products are being used for many applications.
Diving is a relatively unimportant segment for this type of product.

What does the "No" refer to?  Are you saying that George and JJ don't
recommend thinsulate?
