Agreed,,,FIT,,,FIT,,,,FIT,,,The most important thing is fit. ...
All the others above posted excellent advice, but if the fit isn't perfect then you just wasted all that money on thickness, brand, colors etc.
Put the wetsuit on in the store with a friend watching you. Slowly bend at the waist, arms, legs. Have your friend watch the suit and look to see if the material seams move even the slightest bit. The less (or no movement) is the best fitting suit. If you bend your knees and the bottom seam slides up, that's bad. If you bend at the waist and the front moves and creates a wrinkle or inside air gap, that's bad. If you raise your arms over your head and the neck seal moves or gaps, that's bad. The material should stretch with you bending, not ride up nor move, not even a tiny bit. Movement equals water intrusion and that equals cold.
Every style of suit is cut and made differently and what's good on one person is bad on another person. You'll know it when you find the best suit for you because you'll swear it's like it's molded to your body and doesn't move no matter how much you bend. So go to a good selection store, bring a second person, and slowly bend and look for movement and gaps. If nothing works, go to another selection.
