I currently own a 7/7 mm Farmer John. I'm looking to purchase a 1 piece 5mm jumpsuit. Assuming I purchase from the same manufacturer, if I wear a LG F.J., will I most likely wear a LG in a full jumpsuit? What size considerations are there when transitioning to a full jumpsuit from a F.J.? Obviously I'm going to try them on, but I'm just trying to see if they are similar in fit.

How tight should a wetsuit be? I've heard different opinions on this. I dive to 110' regularly and don't want to have my chest compressed too much (this happens with my FJ). Any information online about how to make sure a wetsuit fits properly?

What's the general rule if you are in between sizes on the size charts? Go down or up?
