Several years ago I was at the DEMA show and looking for a deal on a new 2/3mm suit. Finally found one that fit and came out of the cubby and excitedly told my buddy, "Hey, it actually fits" . He was cracking up as the suit I was wearing was a women's suit. He loved to tell that story whenever I was around.

Great thread, long read LOL.
My son (16) just did his OW. While he was in the middle of his course, we went into the LDS he was taking the course from to get him his own wetsuit (7 full + shorty).
"What did they rent you"
"I dunno"
"Was it a medium?"
"I think so"
"OK, bring him a medium"
1/4 hour later, he is sweaty, he is tired, and he still hasn't managed to get the suit on. He had even swallowed his pride and asked for my help. Finally we give up. Another 10 minutes to get it off.
So finally we ask the staff member helping us to check the size they had rented him (that fit fine).
Whoops. ML.
Dad wasn't very popular.

You should always have a buddy when you fit a wetsuit. Or are you solo certified?

Oh my gosh - reading the latest of these makes me laugh so much! Thank you! We live in the midwest and if we want to dive locally we are going to have to wear our 8/7 hooded semi-dry suits. Truthfully, I complain a lot about viz and the cold water of lakes and quarries, but I wonder how much of my avoidance is due to having to dance and squirm into my suit. When the "task loading" begins a week before you hit the water it tends to make for an interesting dive! "Should I use cream rinse or powder? Panty hose or trash bags?" LOLOL!!!

I looked at one of those but the more I looked the more it appeared you had to get greased up and jump off an 8' ladder. And hope you don't miss. I figured that was way too much trouble and having to cut my way out of it seemed like an expensive form of exposure protection.
