I could stand to loose a few lbs. Having said that, I am not that bad. The problem is not the straps. The problem is getting my hand close enough to my foot to be able to get my finds on and off.

Either the undergarment or the suit, or both are too small. Your flexibility shouldn't be much different in the suit than out of the suit. If you can put your fins on without the suit on with no problem then there is an issue.

In my 2 piece farmer john 7mm wetsuit, I can put them on.

I have dove with Under Armor only on under my dry suit and no issues either. The drysuit is slightly longer on me.

Then it's the undergarment.
