I’m hoping to get some ladies’ opinions on exposure protection. I’m a new diver considering buying my second wetsuit, and would like to get some advice on what matters most to find the right fit and level of comfort in a variety of dive locations.
I have a Henderson Goldcore 5/7 in a size 4, which fits me very snugly. I do not have a spare centimeter in the suit when dry, and I sometimes question if the neck is too small. Otherwise, I find it hugs curves well and is well-proportioned.
I’m considering buying a Scubapro Everflex 3/2, as a far more regularly dive in warm and tropical waters with my husband. I tried on a size 4 at my LDS, and it seemed ill-fitting, but the rep told me that it looked perfect. I’m including some pictures, and would be interested in this community’s thoughts. The shoulders and hips fit well, but the waist and knees bubbled out in the back, and the arms and legs were WAY long. The rep told me to just fold them back, but I’m wondering if the suit is just a size too large.
How do you find your suit fits? Is it very snug? Is there some breathing room? Does it depend on the water temperature? Brand? Also, short ladies (I’m 5’2”) - do you roll your suit arms/legs? Is cutting off extra length an option?
