***In Person Speaker***

Connie Sonnabend, Owner of Wetwear will be talking in person at the meeting site. Wetwear is a family-owned business that has been designing and manufacturing custom wetsuits for over 40 years. We are the authorized vendor for U.S. Rescue Swimmer suits and also produce specialized suits for fire and police divers nationwide. Our focus has always been on durability, comfort, and performance in demanding conditions.

During my talk, I will share how custom wetsuit design improves safety, mobility, and efficiency for professional and recreational divers alike. I’ll discuss the evolution of wetsuit construction, what sets custom suits apart from stock suits, and introduce Wetwear’s unique “Easy-On” design, which allows users to get in and out of their suit in under a minute, along with our specialized collars and back-zipper system.
