does anyone have any suggestions for making it easier to get into a 3mm full length wet suit thats wet? or am I the only who struggles with mine?!
 
Suit juice. Dilute a no more tears type of shampoo with water and spray the inside.

You come out smelling nice too.

If the arms are a problem, you can try sticking your arm in a shopping bag before you push it through.
 
I agree with how hard it it, but then I think of how cold and sunburned I would be without one, and I get it on.
 
myvec,
would a larger wetsuit work better?
but not too large as to keep the water inside for insulation.


No. you don't want your wet suite to be loose . this will let water move more freely and remove the heat from your body . A snugg wetsuite will keep the water next to your skin warm and not let a frish flow of cooler water pass . result your warm
 
Putting on a lycra® dive skin before donning a wet wetsuit works well.
 
Pantyhose works too.
 
The plastic shopping bags on feet and hands work great. Slide right in.
