I have the opportunity it get a used drysuit at an incredible price. Its an older Bare drysuit not sure of the model. Its a rear entry with hard boots.

A buddy of mine called me today and had me go over and try on the suit. While I only had a t-shirt and shorts on it seemed to fit nicely. The seals were good and when I knelt down I inflated like a balloon. :lotsalove:

Its a Tri lam suit without the telescopic top.

The suit seemed a little tight in the groin area. Is there a way to know if its a good fit or not before jumping in the pool?

I did let out all the air and squatted down with no problems. I also crossed my arms in front of my body and I had plenty of room there as well.

This was my first time putting on a drysuit so it was a little foreign to me.

For shell suits (like a trilam), here's a basic fitting guide: Dry suit fitting - DIR Explorers
