After watching Gangloff drop his time significantly I went to the Jaked website.I would not describe it as user friendly but I did find the contact address and emailed to see If I could get a suit by Nats.I was doing this almost as a lark,but I got an immediate response(from"Sylvia") saying yes just give my measurements in cm and Kg and that the price was $450 including postage.That was much less than a LZR and near a B-70 so I thought "OK".She said a 24 should be right(I am 5'8" and a 26 B-70 was certainly not too small so I thought that sounded right.)She also said they didn't take credit cards and to do a bank wire.I did last Fri and the suit arrived yesterday.When I got the suit out I thought there was a mistake,it was SO small(my son said"that's the children's suit,where is your suit.") I had read about it taking 45 min to get on and I thought that must be an exaggeration,it isn't.It does stretch amazingly so I did get it on,but if I hadn't had my wife's help I'd still be working at it.Once on it didn't explode and I could breath(a little) so I guess it fits.I did literally get blisters on my fingers from gripping it.It doesn't feel like any other suit,it really feels like rubber as I put it on.I'll swim in it a little this weekend to make sure it doesn't explode or something and then on to Indy.
