Hey folks, a silly question that has been bugging me. How do you guys wear your high waist pants? Do you wear it all the way up, or do you fold it down? Mine comes all the way to the top of my chest, so it's pretty high.

If I wear it up, there's this weird bulge at my chest where the top of the high waist is under the suit top. I don't see others having that, and it's ugly. If I fold my pants down, I get a bit of water sloshing in my suit.

Help?
 
er I just wear mine as they come - they stop about half way up my ribs below my non-existient pecs.. I've not noticed any massive flushing apart from a bit seeping in because I'm wearing no belt (all weight around my neck).

mine came with farmer-johns.... there was a seam though that lied at my navel... i just cut them above the seam. Works well and sits just below my belly button. mines a tad small, or im a tad too big.. so the top and the bottom have a decent seal still.

I trimmed mine at the bottom of the ribs in front. PFI trained so the weight belt is low and tight. Nothing sloshes and the 'p' stays below the belt.

do you feel a little colder without the second layer of neoprene on the chest from the farmer johns? thinking of trimming here too.

Didn't notice any difference but the coldest water I've seen in 10 years is 23C.
