Hubby and I went to try on wetsuits today. I tried on two Bare wetsuits...the Artic and the Elastek. While the Artic 7mm was better than the thick, inflexible, super long astronaut suit I had to wear last weekend, it was nothing like the Elastek. The only thing about the Elastek is the arms are still a little long (my hands are covered but you can see my fingers) and of course, the price.
And because the two of us are now into scuba, all our costs are doubled. EEKKK.
I think if I can get a better suit, it will make diving easier indeed.
One more question- when I do get this suit (and I will) what do I do about the extra material on my arms? Hubby said that you can tell where the seal is, so can the excess material be trimmed? Is there a wetsuit tailor? Or can we just go with hubby's idea of using a really sharp box knife to cut a little of the ends?
