Am I the only one who doesn't really mind this rule? I kind of like it.
I like the idea behind the rule. Whether I like the rule or not depends on how they define "textiles."
I think the impact of the definition on men will be v small (not much material in the suit) but the impact on women may be significant. Plus enforcement could be a real issue.
Ideally I would like a rule that could be enforced at a glance (Not shiny? Permeable? You're good to go.) rather than having lists of approved and non-approved suits. But I don't think that will happen; they'll need to test for buoyance at the least, I would bet.
