Yep that´s the baby I want and now you have upset my day. I´m surprised you have any cos no one else has. I even phoned Palm to ask if they new of suppliers that have them and that drew a negative. Second choice is the Fuse.

Good luck with that one too. Have you asked us if we have them?

No, I gave up phoning around because Palm told me that they only received them last week and were sending them out to suppliers, and only a few at a time, so my assumption was that the suppliers have them reserved for others already. I had one of the biggest suppliers on my case and he phoned Palm and the rest of his chain and came back with nothing.

I tried this one on in the store size large and it fitted a treat, but alas the colours are not my cup of tea. When I first put on the jacket I put it on back to front, so I had a load of material around the front area, the salesman pointed out my mistake. I put this down to the colours confusing me rather than me being a dickhead :-)

No, only saw it once... Whilst not quite up to the Harlequin Fuse, it was VERY garish.

I do agree that a harlequin drysuit would be awesome... extra eyemelting is very much my style.

I now have the Arzino dry top (Long sleeved) which is very, very good http://www.artistic-sportswear.de/en/a/ ... dle_jacket, so I imagine the shorty version is also very good.

Hey Wilf

Back in May you were talking about an artistic aveto. I was wondering what are the sizings like on these as I want one but can't get to try any on? I am about a 42 inch chest and dont know whether to order a large or extra large.

Cheers

The sizings are....generous, I've got one and its nice but the arms are only sealed with velcro cinching and can be a bit leaky in more energetic water or surf, I don't find this an issue however as suitable temps for a shorty generally means a bit of dampness is ok.

Don't go to AS Watersports for a medium Zenith; I snapped up the last one this morning. They're held up or sold out almost everywhere.

BA-wise, my Symbiant isn't top of the range but it's still damn good, so I'd recommend that.

I like my peakuk combi its gotta be hardwearing as I treat my kit like rubbish. What I cant understand is why have latex seals around the arms but not the neck, Makes no sense to me but as I only wear it when its warm it makes no difference.
