Wetsuits are supposed to let in water, that's why they're called wetsuits. A layer of water, trapped in the suit, warms up to your body temperature an d acts as an insulator.

Perhaps if it's tight fitting, but they weren't. And I can tell you with 100% certainty that I was actually warmer without one. You see when I fell in the water and got out, I dried off in a few minutes, everyone else stayed wet. If you want to be a sissy, you should wear a drysuit, otherwise grow a pair of balls and shiver!

Well they are meant to be.

How do yuo know you were actually warmer did yuo measure the temerature or did you feel warmer.

you fell in ? drunk again or yet another balance problem ?

Why shiver, you still haven't explained why you shiver, what's the point if you aren't cold which is what you've imply ?
