Your Cave Chat msg to me cannot be read (or I can't find the appropriate button to press, sigh), I don't know who you are so I can't look up your email address to send you a 'real' email, and your email address isn't listed on this forum.

Make no mistake about my intention: I am aiming at nothing less than a revolution in caving suits. The standard baggy cordura and PVC caving suits, garden-variety polypro and shorts combo, and jeans and tee shirt ensembles are all obsolete considering the advanced suits made of space-age materials worn by athletes. You mark my words – streamlined, form-fitting, tough and stretchy caving suits will come and they will be adopted by serious cavers as soon as a visionary manufacturer starts making them.

Ugh. The thought of some cavers in form-fitting coveralls is going to give me nightmares.
