Hi.
Still trying to find a 5/7mm 2-piece wetsuit (unlined inside) that's going to work for me. Bought a Cressi Scorfano and got into the trousers OK to try on wetting them in the bath but the jacket is another matter altogether. I can get my head through it and 1 arm in but the neoprene is so stiff and inflexible I can't get both arms in and don't want to damage it as at this rate it may well be going back !!
I'm bang in the middle of the sizing range for the size I ordered and am flexible enough to reach all parts of my middle back with either arm so I'm either doing something wrong, need to take up Yoga to put my wetsuit on, need something with more stretch or it's just an absolute nightmare getting in and out of those wetsuits and everyone has the same problem every time they want to go out in the water ...
Can I please get other peoples' input to their experiences and if possible any indication whether the Yamamoto wetsuits are significantly more flexible than the stuff Cressi uses ? Or any super-strecth suits out there ? They've do wonders with stretch of surfing / lined wetsuits in recent years so I'm hoping there might be an equivalent in camo 2-piece ones also.
Also any practical guidance on getting them on when you're out at a site ? I've had one on easily before abroad by just getting in the (warmish) water and sliding into it hence trying the one I bought in the bath over here... but that's obviously not something I'm going to be happy doing in 10 degree water at the beach in the UK in March !!!!
