I finally got my dry suit back. I had the wrist seals changed with heavy duty cuffs.($ching) The neck seal was neoprene and I had it changed to latex as well.($ching) Added some suspender tabs and suspenders.($ching) Lastly I had it pressure tested and with good reason, both boots were leaking.($ching ching). Diving in Jersey this season: Priceless...LOL

The wrists are a little tight but not uncomfortable. The neck seal though is rather tight. I put that bad boy on and I had this vein on my forehead wanting to explode. hahahaha I've read that I should just leave it and it will stretch but I'd hate to pass out. Any suggestions?

It will stretch, but it will take a while. You shouldn't be comfortable while waiting it out. I'd dive it a time or two at Dutch, and if you still feel the need, give it a tiny trim.

So....wait it out.. Ok I'll give it a shot. I know it's supposed to be somewhat tight. I mean how else is it going to have a nice seal but, man I could feel my pulse pounding.hahaha I may have to snip up to the first line. I'm hesistant though I'd hate to mess it up especially since I just got it back from being fixed.

couped,
If your face changes color (like purple) when you have your drysuit on, your neck seal is too tight.

Yes I agree. I tried again yesterday and although I didn't turn purple I was a nice shade of tomato red..LOL

Bring the suit with you on Sunday and a SHARP pair of scissors. We'll get busy with it.
