I purchased this suit back in February without being able to try it on. It had never seen water.
It seemed the XL would be what I needed with my chest size, but everything else it turns, out is just way too big for me.
I held on to it for a while, checking about alterations and such. Turns out they can only shorten the arms and legs by 2 inches and I need more than that!
In the mean time, I finally decided to give it a try and see what I thought. So it has been in my pool once and the next day, the ocean for two dives.
The seals are standard latex and they have now been cut, very cleanly.
The neck is cut to about line 5 1/2, and the wrists are cut to 5. So neck is 15 3/4" and wrists are 7" approximately.
The suit also has a Halcyon balanced pee valve on the left leg, never used.
No wear at all on the zipper. No wear at all on the turbo soles either, toe or heel. The suit is basically new.
