Wetsuit wrists

    The wrists on a recent suit I picked up are a bit loose. The rest of the suit fits nice, and I only noticed this after a few surfs. It's a 4mm for late spring onward, so I'm not in a rush.

    Are there any easy to find straps or elastic bands that might stop flushing?

    Or has anyone maybe made a DIY fix?

    You could put a few wraps of 1 inch duct tape around it. But if the suit fills with water its trapped there too.

    Thanks, it turned out my casio watch strap does a nice job. I then tried an old dog collar on the other hand with good results too, the rest of the suit is spot on. I must just have tiny wrists :(
