Just started diving dry (4 dives so far), went and bought on ebay a newish Northern Diver neoprene drysuit, size M-Large-T, which according to Northern Diver’s sizing chart is my size. The neck and wrists (also neoprene) are a bit tight, normal (?) The rest of the suit feels loose (see pic):
It feels like the size large trilam suits I've tried. I know the extra room is for undergarments, but I don’t plan on wearing wooly fleeces, just a thin wicking base layer in 50-60 degrees occassionally. Not going diving under ice or multi-hour decompression dives anytime soon. So, my concerns are: the squeeze from all the loose fitting material (it was very uncomfortable when I wore large trilams; and no squeeze when I was fitted properly at DUI Dog day). Air in the feet, which I’ve yet to conquer, but hope to with more practice. Shouldn’t neoprene drysuits fit a bit tighter than trilams? Aren't they supposed to be warmer too??
Thanks everyone - Baby drysuit diver
