Just purchased a new Henderson AquaLock 7/5 vest w. hood for extra warmth on deep Caribbean wall dives, and boy it is hard to squeeze into. Of course,it's brand new and never been wet,...so I'm hoping it will stretch out after a few dives. It's a size small. I think a medium would be too roomy. Any advice on this particular garment would be welcome. Thanks for reading.

It'll be a little more comfy once wet, but don't expect the high-end neoprene to "stretch out" much. Next size up would be about 1.5 inches wider, and 1" longer. Do you think that would make it too big, or just right?
Does it keep you from breathing properly?
If not, just tough it out.

As I mentioned, I just received the vest, and tried it on dry,and it was a real struggle.The hood squeezes my cheeks together to the extent I hit my teeth. Too damn tight ?...I think so. I have since decided the AquaLock is not for me. I will try to exchange it for a Thermoprene model, which is said to be more "stretchy"...
