Hiya! Just wanted some opinions on the fit of my o Three drysuit. Ive attached some pictures and am not wearing an undersuit with it in the photos. Any comments welcome and appreciated

Tough to tell by those pictures, it'll change a bit once you have the undergarment on. To check fit yourself, touch your toes, hold arms straight out and bend elbows, reach behind head, hold arms straight up, bend down at the knees. See how those feel, tight or restricting? Too much room in the torso?
 
It's tough to judge fit of a drysuit without the appropriate undergarments on. With that I recommend putting it on with an undergarment and doing a little "yoga" like Jay said above.
 
Always check it with your thickest undersuit and check for a decent range of motion such as bending over, reaching behind you, kneeling (lunge type movement). In other words any movement you might need to make once in the suit up to pick up gear or use when underwater.

I made the mistake of buying a drysuit with no undersuit on (normal street clothes don't work) and it is tight when tried on with a proper undersuit. Hopefully with a little weight loss I will manage though.
