Lack of colors in cold water equipment?

[ScubaCollin]

Im just wondering why I cant find anything with some color in my wet suit or gloves, Id like some yellow so im more visable underwater. Why is it that everything is black? With warm water they even have pink!

Banned on grounds of decency.

Ive seen some really horrendous gaudy coloured drysuits with matching hoods.

I know of one person only with black kit.

I can only seem to find wetsuits with blacks and dark blues. I dont like drysuit diving . . .and yes I dive in very cold water.
I cant find gloves with any color either.

Rule #6. Always look COOL. (No, I don't drink the kool-aid)

I doubt if you will find any gloves with color, they just don't make them. I guess you could get some reef gloves and dip them in that plastic tool-dip stuff.

Henderson and others makes wetsuits with yellow strips, and most drysuits can be found either solid colors or with color accents.

I have the smurf-blue dry gloves. Not cool looking, but warm feeling.

Did you try to see what jack may have at great lakes scuba in traverse city? He always has something odd lying about.
