Does any one else dive a 7mm O'Neill Sector wetsuit? I've been diving mine since last september and have noticed that the arms have drastically shrunk! I struggle to get my arms/wrists in and notice red lines when I bend my arms, my suit that I used to enjoy I now hate.

I've asked around and nobody else has ever experienced a shrinking wetsuit so I'll open this up to a larger forum. Have you ever had a wetsuit that has shrunk in under a year???!!!
 
Try lubing arms. I use 1 part hair conditioner to 4 parts water in a small spray bottle. One that does not irritate your nose or skin. I spray a couple of shots in each arm. I was having problems tearing the arms of my wetsuit when removing as well as too tight.
 
I have a Sector, but what you described doesn't sound right.
Send it back to O'Neill while you still have time. It's still under warranty.
