How to Determine Wet Suit Size
Wet suits are used for swimming in cold water or scuba diving. The wet suit provides a layer of warmth against the chill of the water. When you try on a wet suit for the first time, it will likely feel too tight against your neck and other joints; however, the suit has to be this tight to prevent water seepage. If a wet suit is not a perfect fit for you, you may be able to fill in excess space with clothing. For example, if the suit is a touch large from the waist up, wearing a shirt underneath may alleviate the problem.
