Wetsuit Advice

Hi All,

Just bought one of these

http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/triathlon/10/Aqua_Sphere_Ironman_Pursuit_Competitor_Series_Wetsuit_2010/5360050273/

It fits ok but feels quite tight around the shoulders, comfortable but tight when my arms are at full stretch i.e front crawl, is this alright or do ye reckon I should go for a bigger size?

Sorry if this is a stupid question but its my first wetsuit!

Cheers,

Big Mce

Mine also from Wiggle is super tight.
Tight is right!
Mine also felt tight on the shoulders, but a 5 min test in the pool convinced me that it was fine.

Tight keeps the water out and is faster.


Try it in the pool / open water.

I cant even zip mine up by myself.

Make sure ur pulling it up as much as you can, get someone to help you if necessary, I got fitted for one recently and I felt that tightness as well, when the guy from the shop saw it on he pulled it up towards my shoulders. I was surprised how much they strech

If the suit can be closed whilst you're in it then its not too small - or at least that's what I was told when I bought mine.

make sure when its fully on to put on a black swim cap, pop a red snooker ball in your mouth and present yourself to the missus:D:D:D
