Suit feet & hands - over or under?

[Pseudocyber]

Neewb question here - with a wetsuit, is it better to put the suit over the gloves and boots or gloves and boots over the suit?

My pinnacle suit has big zippers on the ankles on the outside of the legs - they go over my boots - barely. Or should it be the other way around?

Thanks,

The gloves will go over the suit.

The suit will go over the boots.

Exactly.

If the boots are over the suit, you may find your booties grow 3 sizes when you exit the water as the contents of your wetsuit (ewwww) drain into your booties.

Gloves over the suit will help reduce the amount of water exchange via the sleeves.
