Hi

I am new here and would like to ask you guys for advice.
I am planning to buy Cressi Camouskin 7mm Wetsuit for UK spearfishing

my measures are:

CHEST 105cm
BICEPS 34cm
FOREARM 29cm
WRIST 17cm
WAIST 90cm
HIPS 97cm
THIGH 60cm
KNEE 35cm
CALF 37cm
ANKLE 20cm

Cressi size guide: (first measure is for size 4 second is for 5)

CHEST 103cm 107cm
BICEPS 33cm 34.5cm
FOREARM 28cm 29.5cm
WRIST 17.5cm 18cm
WAIST 87cm 93cm
HIPS 97cm 101cm
THIGH 56.5cm 58cm
KNEE 34cm 35cm

Question is simple, should I go for size 4 which is slightly smaller or rather go for slightly bigger size 5?

I think size 4 would be better option but please share your thoughts

thanks

I’d have to go for the size 4 with the measurement that you’ve given, after all Neoprene is some stretchy stuff.

Thanks man, I bought size 4 and it fits perfect. When I tried it first time it was a bit tight on my forearms and elbows which is odd. My vains pop up on my hands, they do anyway when I am too hot. Second time I stretched it properly all over my body mass evenly with help of my girlfriend and it was much better, not as tight as when first time.
Anyway please see the picture of Cressi Camouskin 7mm Wetsuit

Looks good on you, you're going to have to ditch that snorkel though.
Otherwise the fish will just queue up to p!ss themselves laughing. rofl

Don’t forget to lube the inside of the suit when you’re going to put it on, that’ll help no end.

And I’ve gota tell you mate Dave’s right about the snorkel.roflrofl

No worries, that fancy snorkel was just for authenticity of the picture, now I have Omer Zoom Mimetic Brown it will match the camouflage nicely.
Do you need to lube the inside of the suit when the inner of the jacket is lined? I managed to put it on without any lube, hairy legs and chest helped too rofl

Thanks for your replies

You wont need to lube it if it is lined... unless you want to! lol

Cressi no longer make this suit due to reports of the seams seperating.You dont need lube with this suit as the inside is lined with ultraspan.When moving the suit and smothing areas down, be sure to use the palm of your hand rather than trying to pinch the area bewtween thunmb and forefinger.

Thanks again,
just wondered after trying to find out how to take the wetsuit off the easiest way as I always have a small fight to take it off. I think this is the easiest way how to take off my suit:
please follow this YouTube link (thanks to YouTube user playasdeleste, cheers mate )

I use the same way, but mine gets much harder and requires more effort to take it off. :blackeye
Please share your ways how to get it off easily

Kinda the same really. I tend to pull on the beaver tail a bit more than this guy and keep it in one hand whilst i do the elbow thing. If i dont i find it tends to get a bit stuck on one side. The only danger of using your elbow like this is that you put a lot of strain on the seams, i wouldnt be surprised if after a while you might start to see some damage around this area.
Best option is to get someone to help! not always possible i know....
