Is it weird for a guy to wear rubber rain boots if it rains out in public...like girls do? Chris Raabe Join or Log In to answer.
Gallashes? Not weird. I say if you're going 2 wear something, OWN IT. Everyone will follow along.

Well, if you're not wearing pants and just gallashes, it might be weird, but still, OWN IT! :)

I was wondering why I can buy stinger suits with hoods and gloves? They are worn to protect from jellyfish. I can't find them with those Chris Raabe Join or Log In to answer.
Perhaps they are stinger suits for bees...not for jellyfish.

Why can't jodhpurs be worn with riding boots? Chris Raabe Join or Log In to answer.
Jodhpurs, along with riding breeches, may be worn with knee-length riding boots, but are more commonly worn with short jodhpur boots

Are speedo jammers better or different than speedo briefs in any way? Chris Raabe Join or Log In to answer.
People online have varying opinions: cuts down on drag, but if it messes with your range of motion, not good. I think it's best to go with whatever makes you feel the fastest & if a foil hat does that, wear one!

I've used both jammers and the hammock, and neither restrict movement at all. If you do a slow breast stroke wearing jammers, you feel like your swimming naked. Jammers FTW.

If speedoes are sized by what your waist size is, how are they tight enough to reduce drag? Chris Raabe Join or Log In to answer.
If u could swim naked, u might be faster, but speedos keep your naughty-bits close to your body helping to reduce drag.

How tight do speedos have to be so they reduce drag? Chris Raabe Join or Log In to answer.
Until it fits seamlessly with the shape of the swimmers body, but not too tight that it constricts blood circulation.
-slikwacko (0Q / 2415A) Wed Dec 19, 2007 8:30pm

So if speedos are sized by waist band for like shorts, how are they
tight enough?

-chrisraabe (20Q / 0A) Wed Dec 19, 2007 8:33pm

You usually buy one or two sizes below your pants size. i.e. someone who wears a 36 pants would buy a 34 or 32 speedo.
