I am considering a 30/30 and wanted to gather some net wisdom.
First: How bulky is the suit to pack vs a regular 3-5mm suit?
I use a dive caddy now so I don't have to check bags, or at least the majority of my gear. Think this suit would be in the same range or would this be way over the limit with a warm water undergarment?
How hard is it to take it on/off? My experience with a drysuit so far has been that they are pretty cumbersome. Of course it was a regular heavy drysuit so that may be a moot point. With experience, is it any faster/slower than a regular wetsuit to get into?
Ankle weights... Looking at the suit the legs are fairly tapered and I guess they are not really an issue as there wont be much air down there. Sound right?
Finally, the sizing...am 5'11, 160lbs (fairly thin) and I wear a 40R business suit, which seems to mean I would probably be a large in the 30/30 but... Hard to say. Considering the going the factory discount way so I can't try it on beforehand. DUI: Care to comment on what size you think would be best?
