Guest Julius Quasar Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 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:thisor this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Krystal Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asper Sarnoff Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your legs are uncovered, you'll lose heat rapidly. 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.

Guest Julius Quasar Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Thanks for trying to help so far, guys! 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.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. 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.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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't know what else you could be talking about when you say KGBAnyways, 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DRL Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 KGB, Killing gloves of boxing? I really don't know what else you could be talking about when you say KGBThat is an insult for all that is KGB and Soviet and undead!!! (Just kidding )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...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
