Just curious if there are actually different cuts of drysuit for women, and/or can a guy use them without having extraneous...bumps?? Wondering if it would be different depending on compressed neoprene vs uncompressed vs shell(bilam/trilam). Any ideas/thoughts on this? I'm looking at used suits and see so many cheap women's ones...
 
I have and use a woman's Bare NexGen that has an identical cut to my "man's" NexGen. However, I also used to have a woman's DUI TLS350 (off the rack - not custom) that was clearly bigger in the hips and thighs than a mans drysuit would be. I think it just varies depending on manufacturer and price point (the higher the price, the more "custom" it will be).
 
Yes, there is a difference in cut with a true women's dry suit. The hips and chest area will be bigger in women's suits. How much are you looking to spend?
 
I've seen a few decent condition suits as low as $200 used. I know women tend to be less open to the idea of using "used" gear. Any ideas on brands that don't have much of a difference?
Dive-aholic- I'm just pricing suits and shopping around right now, but looking for no more than $500.
