 Re: Anyone tried the new merino wool lined wetsuits? Hmm, bet they work great. Wet wool is well known for its excellent insulating properties. -- "If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him.

Excellent may be a bit of an overstatement - although it's probably intended as sarcasm. |

Only air gaps are insulating - the rest is just marketing. Now polar bear fur, being hollow, might actually have some benefit. Although it would still lose insulation with depth as it compressed. -- "If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him.
