I have noticed the Instant Heat packets in my local Wal-Mart and have used them before in my boots on cold deer stands years ago.
Has anyone used these before in wetsuits in the chest and back area to keep the water around the body core warmer in these cold winter waters. I have a one piece 7mm suit I would like to try these in.
This would be a mix between the lower cost of a wetsuit with greater warmth to increase comfort in colder waters to near drysuit levels or at least longer than just letting the cold blue water be "heated" by the diver's body.
Would the packets damage the suit when they are activated?
Maybe the packets could be hung around the neck in a bag or attached by tape to the suit on the front and back.
