Dave Simonetti won the IR Mustache King “2008 Curt Davis Invitational Mustache Growing Contest of Paddlesports.” He is the Mustache King, and the King only has the best things that life offers. IR products naturally fall into that category.

King Simonetti himself commented, “Though the quality of IR products always seems to be really high, I was particular impressed with the fit and construction of the suit. I can actually get it zipped up all by myself and having the zipper across the shoulders gives you really good mobility while padding. It is also warm and TOTALLY dry as the pics of my leisure time in 39 degree water will show. This drysuit may be the nicest thing I own.”
Here is a photo before Simonetti was crowned as the IR Mustache King. You can clearly see that His Highness was underdressed for Kingly activities like reclining in frigid water and laughing at the river, and that he had other “ailments” to worry about at the time.

Comparably, the Tick, not a Mustache King but certainly a Mustache wearing Superhero, also wears IR gear. It’s obvious that he has chosen the Union Suit as his primary attire.
Happy New Year,

Thanks for recommending this IR Drysuit here. Yeah, I agree that this is also the best drysuit with high quality. You can have more drysuit reviews and diving ideas here.

My friend, the Mustache King is not something to be taken lightly. You’re acting if it’s something we just give out every year. Mustaches come and go, but Mustache Kings, only when the time is right. The next Mustache King will be crowned on a date specified only by the Mayan calendar. Even the current Mustache King does not possess the infinite wisdom necessary to predict such a date. My advice is that you keep training, stay focused and wait. Your time will come.
