Does My Wetsuit Fit?

Tight but Comfortable: The wetsuit should fit snugly, but not be too tight or restrictive. You should be able to move your arms and legs freely.


No Gaps: Make sure there are no gaps between the wetsuit and your skin, as this will allow water to enter and reduce the insulation.


Proper Length: The wetsuit should reach your ankles and wrists, but not be too long, as this can cause drag in the water.


Neck Comfort: The neck of the wetsuit should fit comfortably, but not be too tight, as this can cause discomfort and restrict breathing.


Chest and Back Panel: The chest and back panel of the wetsuit should be snug, but not too tight, as this will affect the insulation and mobility.


Sleeve and Leg Length: The sleeves and legs of the wetsuit should be long enough to provide complete coverage, but not be too long, as this can restrict movement.


Zipper: The zipper of the wetsuit should be easy to operate and not dig into your skin.
