Did it come with flippers?, if so be careful driving with them on and I suppose it will save you looking for a loo while working ;)
Fairplay :)

-

Did you get a pee-valve...?

wetsuit? surely you bought a drysuit !!!??? a drysuit fits over the top of your clothes and you stay dry underneath. a wetsuit works by getting wet. it holds the water in the suit and you would be wet all day. if you bought a wetsuit take it back and get the other sort. ( i dive all the time in a drysuit.)

GORETEX GORETEX GORETEX!!!!that what you need then you ll be dry even when working in the rain!! 8) 8)

Carry a large spare DI Bottle on your back just in case yours breaks,you can probably get a nice harness for it from the same shop.
-
classic example of a salesman taking advantage of someone who doesn't know what he needs..... a wetsuit will not do the job at all !!! fine for under water, useless for what you need. waterproof trousers and coat are the best way to go.
-
at least if you fall on your rrrrrrs you will just bounce back... :D
-
yeh but i was nearly under water today. ;D the salesman seemed like a really nice bloke.

Barry, do you need any ski's for when the snow comes. Iv got a spare size 8 under the bed that don't fit, could give you them cheap. Bit of a bu gger standing on the hose all the time mind but you will get used to having them on.
-
wet suits still get you wet mate lmao, its dry suits that keep you dry. the wet suit just acts like a thermal so you dont get as cold in water lol ;D ;D but you knew that all ready didnt u :D

Dry suits are too expensive to use for window cleaning. the hydrotech predator dry suit retails at about £500 [plus using a dry suit you will need someone to zip you up lol]

why would you look daft cleaning windows in a dry suit? but perfectly normal dripping around in a wetsuit?

You will only be dripping around if you had jumped into a pond or lake!
the neoprene which the wetsuit is made from has very good insulation properties.
you will sweat like mad if you were working in a wetsuit and the wetsuit will restrict your movement!

that would crack me up if i looked out the window and see some bloke washing my windows with a wet suit on lol ;D ;D ;D ;D

But what about the eyes?
If you wear specs you can't see properly in the rain and prescription goggles only work underwater. What you need is an umbrella hat and prescription goggles and you're sorted!
Those clear plastic umbrella hats with pink spots and little ears on them would look cool.
