Lara Croft's Wetsuit

My friend Nina contacted me this morning, with a question:

"Hey!  How you been?  Listen, you're always playin' video games and such...would you know, by any chance, where I can get a wetsuit like the one(s) Lara Croft wore in "Tomb Raider: Underworld"?  I wanna get one just like hers, both the black, long sleeved one and the un-lockable white bathing suit as well in that game.  I'm planning on doin' a little diving myself.  Do you know of any stores, online or bricks and mortar locally, that sell those kind of wetsuits?  I know it's a long shot, but I've seen wetsuits like those before, I just dunno where to find 'em.  Could you try to find out for me? Thanks.  By the way, Russell says 'Hi'...He'll be out by summer, we all hope."

There you have it.  I been trying to find it on Google, Bing, but so far nothing.  I'd KGB it, but my cell phone is on the fritz at the moment...

Does anyone know where I could find those types of wetsuits?

Here's what I mean:

I think wetsuits are only supposed to come with leggings. That's the point of a wetsuit after all, to keep you warm. If your legs are uncovered, you'll lose heat rapidly.

Mr. Krystal is right. That outfit was designed more for sex-appeal than functionality.

The warmth loss would be a real bugger unless she was swimming only in tropical waters.

I have no clue but my best guess would be a shop that has diving equipment.... might have to go custom for that leotard look though.

Yeah, but I'll admit even I've seen that style advertised, like on amazon dot com, but they were sold out or the merchant selling them on amazon canceled their services with them and withdrew the sales.

probably, yeah...

Nina's a good friend, I wanna do my best to help her. 

I'm gonna try to keep lookin' from time to time.

KGB, Killing gloves of boxing? I really don't know what else you could be talking about when you say KGB

Anyways, there are wetsuits without legs for scuba diving in warmer climates and snorkeling.

If you are to go diving in cold water... Brr it's cold down there, you wouldn't want anything like that. Being of my proportion, none of the suits at the place where I learned to dive fit me, water could get in, SO COLD!!! Shivering the whole dive.

Haha, you're silly! :P

I hope I can find that for Nina soon, she said she's gonna go scuba diving in the Caribbean, this summer, and she might bring me, Fats, Russell, and his girlfriend along, as well as another girl...

Russell has a yacht we can use for that...

That is an insult for all that is KGB and Soviet and undead!!! (Just kidding  :lol:)

Personally Julius I think that your best bet is to go down to a place where the climate is, say, tropical or like that. Otherwise searching in cold places would result in clothes for cold places (oviousness strikes again, sorry for that...)

We're going to the Caribbean, this summer, isn't that warm enough?

I think it's for his own benefit, isn't that right Julius?

You mean finding the wetsuit for Nina?

Well, Nina and her female friend she's bringing along [to keep me company] both want those kinds of wetsuits, Nina's boyfriend "Fats" asked me the same question this morning that Nina did about finding those kinds of wetsuits...so...it's not just for my benefit.  :wink:

Thank you, Asper!

Very good! :yes:

This is definitely a good start.  I'm still gonna search the web for additional options, and I'm also gonna email that link to Nina! 

I'm open to any additional suggestions and ideas.  Thanks again Asper, and to all of you who gave me helpful advice  here.  This topic ain't done yet, so please don't lock it.

Sorry, I missed that phrase. (Sometimes I can not control my own sillyness)
