AUSTRALIAN LIGHT HORSE EQUIPMENT

Bare 5mm Velocity Scuba Diving Mens Vest (Black, Large)

Bare Mens Velocity Step-In Hooded Vest A progressive-stretch vest, which layers perfectly with a 7 or 5mm full suit, that provides additional warmth. THE RIGHT STRETCH IN THE RIGHT PLACE. Progressive-stretch is a concept in full-stretch wetsuits only available in the VELOCITY series. It all starts with BARE-Fit, which is the foundation of every BARE suit. BARE-Fit uses ergonomic suit design involving complex shaped patterns with articulated legs and sleeves. From there, zones associated with performance within the suit are selected. Then, proven fabrics are chosen from various prototypes that have been tested for years. By placing the different fabrics in particular panels of the suit, the VELOCITY series delivers exceptional fit, feel and performance. Layers perfectly with the 7/6 or 5/4 Velocity Full Attached 5mm vented hood with 3mm skin-in face seal Skin-in seals around the shoulders Heavy-duty front zipper Double glued with SECURE-LOCK construction

The Badjaos were once a proud people who impressed the world with their diving skills. With nothing but daggers between their lips; with their bare eyes, without any diving equipment, they could scour the farthest, darkest depths of the seas and come back with the most beautiful pearls. But that seems a thing of the past for the Badjaos, who can now be seen scattered throughout the archipelago, many of them thousands of kilometers away from their native Mindanao, begging for alms. Some of them have even reached as far as Baguio City (246 kms. north of Manila), pleading for mercy and a few coins from passersby. They are now a far cry from the proud tribe that they used to be.

The rains came down. it seemed water was pouring from the skies from every direction. Everyone scrambled for cover into the stores and under awnings. Musicians and the sound man dove to cover their equipment because dispite canopies water was everywhere. Aside from that worry everyone was still having a ball talking with each other, lauging and shopping. I was running around in bare feet (like others), getting soaked taking the last of the garbage off the tables.

It was so much fun and after the dry summer the rain was still welcome too.

A wonderful day enjoyed by all it seems.
