Just went over and picked up a Rocket Science (approved) & a Aquasphere (not approved) and have them here in hand with my B70. First impression is exact same fabric alhtough thicker, looking over the RS I see what Ande is talking about with regards to the "regular fabic rear panel"...which is actually not accurate as the material is the same as the rest of the outside of the suit but is has a honeycomb pattern of small "holes" (about twice the size of a ballpoint pen tip) which are backed by the suits lining (guessing the same material as the B70)...this materail is not in the butt but rather the crotch area and under the armpits. It makes sense from a "trapping air" perspective I guess and the tests seem to make that conclusion...now if i can squeeze my fat rear into the thing will give it a test tomorrow and see if I can feel how much of a difference not trapping air makes.
Paul, demo that RS badboy and let me know what you think - time to find a B70 replacement - quick. Indy is just around the corner...
