Wetsuit
From our recent chat, I understood you were looking more for ideas for a wetsuit rather than PFD, etc... I have a bit of practical experience in research, product design through to production and distribution, albeit in the financial sector. I'm certain the theory and practical learnings I have is relative across all industry.
I recommend strongly that you think wide about the market research you're doing here and keep it in context. I discovered that when you ask for ideas like you have here, people (us out here) will always freely give you an ideal wish list. Whether that really means it's what we'd actually BUY or USE in reality, is a separate matter... so I guess this is stage one of your research?
I'm a practical realist and recommend the K.I.S.S. principle. You will clearly need to come up with something that is economic to produce and is reasonably priced or your unlikely to sell them. Therefore it's worth asking people what they'd pay (a price range) or whether they would REALLY buy one if they've already set themselves up because you may create a cool thing but no one would actually part with the money!
For what it's worth, my view is I'm happy with the 2 piece wetsuit I use at it helps may layer a top if I need to. The only things I'd prefer is: -
a zip in the front for the men to have ready access to the emergency release valve we have permanently attached to our bodies for fluid evacuation procedures
pocket for marine radio that Mark also mentions
pocket for camera
flare pocket built into lower leg section
In practical terms I don't think you need other bells and whistles. They sound great but reality... I find it easy to put the softbait in my chilly bin, my PFD has a D loop and I keep hooks in a small case. You may be able to add those bells and whistles in a holder of some sort that is attached to the front of the chilly bin and sold as a separate item rather than going for the all in one approach that you may find is too limiting and too expensive to produce?
Leave it with you... hope it helps and YES I will aim to call you in the next week and you can have a drive of the toy! I appreciate your generosity this evening! Regards Neil
