needessentials.com +1 +1 I was on the lookout for a new winter suit recently.....I usually buy cheap suits but I decided I didn't want to risk getting colds this year and having to isolate/take Coovid tests unnecessarily so I went on the hunt for a really good suit.... I found a lot of websites/bra...

Sorry you feel like that Adriatic. I like HIPE, and I was attempting to present my experience dealing with customer service, the boards performance, and other items.
