RC: Neoprene in Winter

[Teddy Lancaster <teddy@runningbear.com>]

I don't use neoprene myself, but we use it in products we
manufacture...there are different grades of neoprene.  We
buy what Professionals Choice buys (I asked them and they
told me, so I bought it)....before then, I had bought some
that cracked...turns out is it called SBR (not sure what it
stands for), but it does NOT hold up (i.e. cracks and tears)
like the good stuff does.

How old is your breastplate?  I would hope that Orthoflex
would have figured this out by now (especially since Prof.
Choice nearly bought them out a few years ago).
