is there any way to relax the neoprene a little bit so that I can stretch it and take out some of the tension? The rest of the suit fits great but the neck needs a little bit of loosening up.

any ideas would be greatly appreciated

thanks.

You can't 'relax' neoprene without cutting it, unless you adjust the velcro closure supplied on the neck of most full wetsuits...

May not be the *best* solution, however, quite a few divers wear the hood bib outside the suit, for that very reason.
