I assume you are refering to the "cm" after the numbers in the description on Ebay - assuming you are, it refers to the size in centimetres which is also how I measure my own height :dry:

well if it's not feet and inches, i've not a clue, which is what i use to measure my own waste, mainly the feet, the inches are pointless, i just round it down to the nearest foot.

I think CaveCLimb.com still have a good range of these as well

I'm not sure they are discontinued. The guy that makes them turned up at Hidden Earth last year with a big stock of them. I think there is a bit of market manipulation going on (By the manufacturer, not by our caving shops I hasten to add)
