... that a QR wetsuit shaped like a man looks strong and powerful, while the wetsuit shaped like a woman looks like she's being arrested on a DUI?!
:confused:

It gets worse, or funnier, I can't decide which...

(I guess she's not having a peeing problem here!) LOL

Why does the guy in the second photo have such a weird extra-long torso??

I think it's an optical illusion because the suit has no shoulders.
what's the link to this place? we should write and complain!

Both poses show us that their model wasn't particularly comforable in these suits... In the first pose she does look ashamed and in the second it looks like she can't get her legs together?

Put some people in the suits and maybe there's a different story....

before i got myself into too much of an uproar, i checked and found that not all of the suits are posed in such an odd way.

These people are local, I have a couple of their winter compression suits. It's tempting to give them direct feedback on this one ;)

Hilarious :D

Digression: that's one of the things I like about Patagonia. They've realized that also their female customers like to feel athletic and powerful, so their catalogues are full of ego-boosting stuff like: "this climbing top gives full freedom to your honed shoulders and shows off your gorgeous abs" or similar nonsense :-)

No way, tygab, the two guys on the right aren't wearing wetsuits.

That's body paint!

Not that there's anything wrong with body paint, mind you... :rolleyes:
