I got Bare Velocity 5/4 in ML size (my size according to the size chart). First I should say this is one tough suit to don - nothing like the much thinner Velocity 3/2 I tried on before. When I think about donning it on the boat in 90+ F heat as opposed to the air conditioned apartment - this might end up being a problem.
But once the suit is on and all suit parts seem where they should be - everything feels snug and tight with one exception - there seems to be a lot of slack in/around armpits. I am not sure whether the suit armpits are sitting lower than they supposed to because of the suit sleeves being on the short side or this is the way it is supposed to be - when I raise or extend my arms this neoprene slack stretches and looks like a pair of 'wings' underneath my arms...Does this sound like a fit problem? Thanks.
