  • Was "trapping air or water" one of the testing criteria? How was it tested and in what terms was it measured? Was this particular criteria assigned to all of the suits, each of the models, on a variety of body shapes? There must have been more to the testing than was published. My opinion is that lawyers will be getting involved and things may get dragged out for awhile. Regardless of personal opinions regarding the suits in general, I must say that USMS is out there on a limb with one of its sponsors. It will be interesting as to how this all gets sorted out. I'm hoping that there will be some sort of rebate or something from B-70, but a reality check tells me that they may not be able to survive a tsunami such as this. Live and learn....
