				| Who makes light colored wetsuits? 
 I want to buy a "cool" colored, solar-neutral, light colored wetsuit.
 Colors: light blue, light gray, etc.
 
 Black neoprene is a pretty stupid color for our wind sport world. Warm summer air temps can be radically different than cool water temps. I don't need to overheat under the sun as I am making my way to the water, not falling in, or for protecting sun skin damage.
 
 Unless one wants the solar heat gain of black there is no reason for me to look like a seal...shark food.
 
 I appreciate the light colored camo patterns but, these seem most often found as dive suits that have open cell neoprene.  I want the closed cell neoprene.
 
 Desired thickness: Thinner neoprene 2mm, 3mm, 2/3mm
 Short leg suits are poor protection from sharp foils.
 Short arms a perfect fit in conjunction with detachable neoprene sleeves.

				| I’d really like something with sequins.  A little bling.  Black is so boring. 
 I want sparkle and shine!

				| I had the same desire earlier this year. I settled on a Prolimit spring suit, which is light blue, 2/2. I bought it off their web site as the local shops didn't have what I was looking for. It's worked pretty well so far. The fit is kind of odd -- baggy in the butt and legs and snug in upper torso, which is not a big deal when it is so warm. I just checked their web site and it's not even offered any more. _________________
