Review on Women'S 2Mm Neoprene Wetsuit Top With Long Sleeves And 2 Zipper Pockets - Ideal For Swimming, Diving, Surfing, And Boating - By CtriLady by John Invert

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Arms are very big. good for me

I bought the 2XL and usually wear an XL or 1X top. I have a 44" bust and an apple shape with a thick waste and muffin top. This fits well through the torso. However, as many others have mentioned, the sleeves are very wide. You can roll up the sleeve hem to help make the fit tighter, but they really needed to be taken in. In the photo you can see that I needed to take it in a 1" (doubled, so 2" total) at the wrist and tapered the seam to end about 4" from the armpit. That improved the fit considerably. It is warm enough for swimming in a heated pool that is in the 70's but wouldn't work for water less than that. The quality of the material and construction are good. Remember that a wetsuit must fit very snuggly to work. If you can easily pull up the zipper in one motion, it is too big. It will also seem to stretch a bit when wet. If it is too large, water will continue to freely enter the suit and make you cold. It needs to be skin tight to work.

Pros
  • Working Principle
Cons
  • The wetsuit may not be suitable for certain body types or shapes
