Looking for some information and opinions. I am currently diving a Andy’s commercial dry suit (trilam) however when I get done my shoulders look like I have been beaten with a bat. (suit pinch)
Is there any advantage to using a crushed neoprene suit dry suit to avoid this problem? Or get a better fitting trilam suit?
Any help here??

Thanks
 
Sounds like you need to put more air in the suit! A laminate suit shouldn't be leaving pinch marks, if you are inflating it properly.
 
Agree with TS&M! My Trilam never leaves any marks.

+1 as well. It should not pinch - especially in the shoulders??? That would indicate to me that there was a lot of air in the feet. Perhaps a fit issue in the shoulders?
 
Ok, the suit was not "sized" for me, purchased second hand. I'm adding air when I feel pressure so sizing may be an issue. Thanks for the info.
