Even the hardiest diver can't last longer than an hour in cold water using a modern wetsuit, and that's no good if you're a special ops soldier or otherwise need to stay under the sea for hours at a time. MIT has a simple solution: imitate the blubb...
Today on In Case You Missed It: MIT researchers are creating a two-layer wetsuit modeled off of the pelts of sea otters and beavers, who are able to stay warm in chilly water despite not having the layer of blubber that whales and dolphins have....
Large oceangoing creatures, like whales and seals, keep warm with thick layers of blubber. But smaller mammals like beavers and otters have a different method of insulation: Their dense fur, which traps warm air bubbles to separate their body from co...
These awesome wetsuits were developed by Quiksilver Japan for those who are members of the board, who also like to surf on the board. True Wetsuits are high spec waterproof wetsuits that are designed to “be worn from home, to the beach, and from the beach to the office with no need to change at all.” Yes, Japan. Don’t ever change.
Maybe you are a business man on the go. Who has time to change? Go straight from the office, to the beach, to a shark’s mouth. The team that created these wetsuits say that they spent two months just producing samples. Each piece of the suit, from the shirt and tie to the jacket and pants, had to be comfortable enough to wear all day, but also function as a wetsuit.
They come in three styles: Office Smart, Casual Friday and Party Tuxedo, and each suit will cost you ¥300,000 (~$2500 USD). The real question is this? How bad does it stink while you are sweating it up at the office?
