Ack. I just purchased a drysuit from divetank.com and finally got the opportunity to take it to the pool for a test run and some weighting tests. The pool was very warm, and I had never had on a drysuit, so I didn't feel any tremendous trickles like the suit was leaking. But, when I took it off, I was soaked. Not "sweating like a pig" soaked, but "jumped in the water/wring out the clothes" soaked.
I plan on doing a leak test tonight where I inflate the suit to see if there is a leak anywhere. Other than that, what else could be causing this?
I thought that the seals felt pretty good. I had air bubbles in the neck, and when I raised my arms, no bubbles from the wrists. I was not wearing a hood. Is that necessary to keep the neck seal close to the neck?
I'm trying to figure out what I did wrong so that I can fix this. The suit is brand new, so it's probably not the suit. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
