7 mm wetsuit fit

[Lopez116]

I just bought a Body Glove Excursion 7 mm suit, but I'm afraid it might be too small. Is an XL and according to Body Glove's sizing chart I fall right into the XL. It is very tight (rather uncomfortable). My arms sort of spring back to a slightly bent position and the collar feels like its choking me. I cannot zip it without help. I know tight is good, but just how tight are we talking?

I went to my LDS and tried on an XL in the Body Glove EXO super stretch (they didn't have an Excursion) and it was so much more comfortable even though it was also an XL. I am guessing the super stretch material accounts for that. The EXO do, however bunch more in the legs and arms).

Im feeling kinda lost and frustrated on how it should fit. Help would be appreciated!

Sound tight if you need help zipping. I was in a size too small in my Ow class and had an issue where I couldn't breath correctly because I couldn't expand my chest. This led to almost hyperventilating. I has to do the rest of th class with the suit partially unzipped.

Guess you should have bought at LDS. Send it back, go to the LDS and buy one that fits and support your LDS, unless you have a fill whip on your PC.

Another thing to look at is the size. Just because you wear an Xl shirt doesnt mean you war an Xl wetsuit. I normally wear a 2xl shirt but my Akona wetsuit is 5xl

Guess you didn't read the part where he said the LDS didn't have that suit.

I did but he said the one at the LDS fit better. Also the way it read to me was he went there after the fact, or did I miss something?
