Rob did you read the article. It points to the fact that these suits stop working pretty quick. I think they stop working after the first wash. I don't have scientific evidence to back it but logical reasoning based on the amount of carbon in the suit Vs what is left after a wash.

When I first bought and supposedly activated my suit I did the fart test. I even used a double layer and it still passed through. There is very loosely supported evidence to support that these suits work and lots of scientifice evidence that they don't.

I'm tired of the large companies with large advertising budgets ruining our sport by turning it into a money mill of wasted dollars. I was in Home Depot the other day looking for rachet straps. The had all kinds and in assorted colors and most came in 4packs that cost $15. The camo colored straps were over $18 and they only gave you two for the exact same strap. They think we are idiots.
