Terrapin wetsuits does alterations. Add a relief zipper while you are at it because deep6 wetsuits really minimize water intrusion and flushing. They are awesome wetsuits.
Terrapin Wetsuits
Does anyone know a tailor with experience shortening wetsuit arms/legs by two inches?
At this price I will just buy one and worry about tailoring later.
Sizing is the only reason I didn't immediately buy a Deep6 wetsuit when they were introduced, and while there have been mentions in a few threads of people cutting off a couple of inches themselves, I am not about to subject such a well made wetsuit to my home tailoring. Bare's wetsuits in size Medium-Large-Short fit me perfectly. And go figure, but for the "height" measurement my measurements are somewhere between a Deep6 Medium and Large.
Maybe 2 pounds? For me the difference between rash guard and 3 mm isn’t much. It’ll be most noticeable the first 5 or so dives, until the neoprene gets crushed a bit.Ordered mine. Really excited as this is my first one. Checks all the boxes for me too. Can’t wait to get it wet. Quick question. If I’m currently using 12lbs now with a rash guard how much would I expect to add for the 3mm
One thing I forgot to mention is I was using 12lbs with a jacket style bcd before. Now I’m going to be running a bp\w. Steel plate with 2# usable weight
