Hi everyone. I just bought a lightly used 7mm full O'Neill wetsuit and tried it on. I soaked it in cold water first and then climbed into the bath to put it on. Long story short, I was able to get it and zip it up with a lot of tugging and struggle. I suspect it hasn't been used in a while and therefore the neoprene was tight. I've worn a 5mm wetsuit before (a rental) and that took about 10-15 min to get on. This one took about 30 min to get on. My arms popped up around my sides and it was a struggle to move the fabric to fit properly around my wrist, ankles, knees and pull it up snugly under my underarms.
Do I return it? Or should I assume that the neoprene will loosen up a bit after a few wears?
Are there any tricks to getting it on easier?
Thank you!
