I am trying different dry suits before I take the plunge and I need some basic info on drysuit types and how thy should fit.
I tried a shell type drysuit (DUI) and it fit rather baggy. I expected this and didn't think too much of it. Wore a heavy undergarment with it.
However, tonight I tried on a neoprene drysuit. It fit much tighter than the shell suit. Is this normal? I doubt I could ever had worn much of an undergarment with the neoprene suit. Should it fit like this? Not as tight as a dry suit but nothing at all like a shell.
Also, any secrets to getting into and out of a back entry neoprene drysuit? I don't want to tear it up, but getting it on and off was a real chore. Not much different than a wetsuit.
Thanks for your advice...
