The arms of my cressi technica open cell 5mm suit are to long for me, they come a little way up my palm which seems to funnel water up the arms and into my gloves, can i cut them down with scissors or will the stitching unravel ?? Cheers

Get a little wetsuit cement and dab that on the cut seams and thread, solves the problem. Be careful that you are not cutting off something important, like a seal. Also, that the suit is not much looser above the wrists so that it will continue to leak. All fixable problems, as long as you see them coming.

thanks for the replys , i will try the foldback first and cut as a last resort and seal the stitching.
