I finally found a wetsuit that fits me, a Bare Elastek 5mm. It took a long time to find one that did. Question for anyone who has one. I find it odd that the gaskets/cuff/whatever-you-call-them aren't tight against my skin like other wetsuits I've worn. They slightly flare out, the angles more than the wrists. Are they all like this or is this a one-off weirdness?

Thanks.

I also have the Bare Elastek 5mm. It does seem to flare a bit at the end of the arms. The end of the sleeves do sit against my skin at the wrists though. There is also an internal cuff set about 5 inches in or so from the end of the sleeves. Hope that helps.
 
Thanks. I tried another and it was slightly better. Doesn't really matter. As you said, there's that sort of internal cuff and nothing else fits me well. So be it.
