Bare Durashin...

[squidguy]

I was looking at a Bare suit and noticed that the common rubber or neoprene kneepad has been discarded for what appears to be a heavy duty iron-on stylized kneepad. Has anyone had any experience on how they hold up to normal wear and tear???

but do you expect to do a lot of kneeling?

Not alot of kneeling but...

I still have fresh memories of zebra mussels slashing razor thin cuts into the rubber kneepads of my brand new Henderson 7mm bout two years ago... you can't see the cuts till you flex the rubber, there was quite a few slashes... darn mussels cover every wreck in southern Ontario ;-0

I can see where that might be a problem.

If it's really bad, maybe some Kevlar & Neoprene knee pads would solve the problem?

Sorry I don't have more helpful infor on the Bare suit.
