So I'm in line for the rolling start, just getting towards the dock to enter the water. A race official pulls me out of line pointing at my wetsuit yelling Swedish at me. I'm like yeah it's a wetsuit? Finally I gathered that he saw "DeSoto" and immediately thought it was illegal thickness. I assume he was worried about this:

But c'mon, that was almost 15 years ago and I'm not even a top age grouper.
Anyhow it was worth a chuckle but now I know why the T1 Wetsuits have "5mm" printed on the sleeve. I showed it to him and he proceeded to want to know if the legs were also 5mm. I had to hold the rubber up side by side with my sleeve. Such a weird thing.
