    Re: Sweat Shirts

    Makes you wonder if the best thing to dance in would be a thin gore-tex material. Obviously if it was very thin unlike on ski jackets, it would still potentially have the same properties - i.e. letting moisture on the inside out whilst not letting any outside moisture in. (You could wipe it all off on your partner then!)

    I'm with you 100% on the personal hygene thing Amanda, but as long as the guy is nice and toned, I personally like vests - not the soggy looking "old man" type vests, but nice tight lycra ones!

    Peter storm do some ok t shirts from dupont dry flow. Drys out quick and feels much less damp than the dreaded cotton. Were on 2 for one from Millets.

    I think the Dupont wonder material in Peter Storm shirts might be Cool Max rather than dry flow. At least I think that's what Neil said here.

    (I have several and they are really good at keeping you dry. Not very stylish though )
    Love dance, will travel

    I don't think it is the same stuff. My T shirt was only reduced because it had "London Marathon 2001" plastered all over it.

    Re: Sweat Shirts

    Something with little or no sleeves is best; u r probably aware that wetness shows less the darker the colour. Saying 'sorry I' m really wet' makes you less wet to your new partner I find.

    Once again I stand corrected. Ok so I'm sitting but don't anyone dare point it out.
    Thanks David

    Red face Re: Sweat Shirts

    Rash Vest ?

    I saw someone at Camber at the weekend wearing a Rash Vest to dance in !

    Rash Vests are designed to be worn under a wetsuit to prevent the wearer getting a rash as the wetsuit rubs against him or her.

    By implication, Rash Vests will be wet most of the time.

    Does the wearing of a Rash Vest for dancing in signal the way forward ?

    Perhaps it is able to wick away dampness better than a "normal" shirt ?

    Perhaps it prevents soreness under the arms ?

    How cool is it though ?

    The Rash Vest seen at Camber, from a distance, seemed to be dark blue - but with bright orange arms !


    Discuss !

    I had a friend who tried wearing fish net tights under his wet suite

    The pattern on his legs when he took his wet suite off was amazing

    Except that in our very own Andy's case (for it was he), the reason it's called a Rash vest is because it immediately brings out a rash on the people that have to look at it.

    Bitchy? Moi?

    Only because the bugger beat me at air hockey.

    (it was very close, though (7-6, 6-7, 6-7), and I gifted him the last and deciding game with about 4 own goals.)

    Sore loser? Moi???

    Question Re: Sweat Shirts

    During the evening freestyles at Camber all the ladies took the opportunity to dress up.

    Wearing a Rash Vest seems to me to be dressing down and didn't strike me as being appropriate.

    Can the wearing of a Rash Vest be justified on the basis of its ability to keep the wearer cool and rash free ? Are its properties that good ?

    Is this to mean this posting should have had caveats...

    ooo, oooo....

    I hadn't realised that this thread had reached the heady heights of discussing The Lovely Viktor in a tight white vest - I would have read it earlier if I'd known!

    *sigh* :swoon:

    Off to ponder...
