Im a Blue 70's guy from head to toe. I made my local traning swim yesterday air temps of 62F with overcast and water temps of 56F. My wetsuit, gloves and hood was priceless and made it more then bareable and after about the first 200 yards I was good other then my face and feet were knumb by the end. I just placed an order for my boots this morning. As a point I also use the gloves for bike training. Blue 70 rocks. From ordering, pricing, customer service (knowlegable staff ---- that answers the phone)-- (not emial hell), to incrediable products. I would have saved a lot of time and money if I would have purchased them first. But I didn't I made a price based decsions and I was wrong and missable. Learn from my mistakes and pay that little bit more and enjoy the quality.
