I got this last year on ebay with 1 dive on it as per previous owner. It's very clean and I never dove it because it doesn't fit. I'm in the the NYC area so I'd prefer to sell locally if possible. Seals are uncut, no rockboots, no bag.

Where did it not fit you. It would help to list your measurements as a guide to potential purchasers.

basically a little small everywhere, I'm a short fat dude. It's not made to measure, it's standard sizing. The fusion is very forgiving as far as sizing because of the outer skin. I probably just needed the 4xl version.

My wife has similar body morphology and she tried both the 2xl/3xl and 4xl and neither fit well enough for her to consider purchasing a fusion suit. They do work well though for folks with more standard proportions. I have one and it has worked well for me. If I needed a replacement I would consider yours.

Having never used mine I think it may be time to check out its idiosyncracies

Mine is XXLG-XXXLG so it's an oldie it seems to fit ok with a tech skin but the
neoprene skin has far too short arms and legs, we shall see, must find a pond

Thanks FabletheRaven, and Mr Zef knows his stuff is it worth learning to use it

If you want/need to dive dry and it’s the suit you have, then yes it is worth Earning to use it. Personal experience is with the aircore version of the suite. The Whites branded fusions and early Aqualung branded version had Drycore versions that seem to garner some animosity, but it seems more to do with the suit out of the water than in the water. If one has never dived with a drysuit before, the first few times can feel like learning how to dive all over again as one has to learn spatial coordination of their body and the air bubble in the suit.

I dove a larger one before and it worked fine. It is annoying to get on and the whole thing kind of sags if you're walking around with the suit half on, but once you're in the water it's good. Maybe the biggest issue was restriction in shoulder movement.
