Is it necessary to wear the Surf-fur in warmer areas?
(Because water has a specific heat approximately 1000 times greater than that of air, and a thermal conductivity 24 times greater than that of air), the body loses heat much faster in water than in air of the same temperature. Using a diver as an example; repeated dives over several days may produce long slow cooling and undetected hypothermia even in tropical water. At the end of a dive, PADI suggests a cold diver should overdo the re-warming until sweating occurs, which indicates that body heat has been restored. This is when the surf-fur would become a diver’s best friend. The diver could put it on immediately following a dive, change under it, reverse it then continue to wear the coat until they were completely re-warmed.
