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 Justin Ott

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Horrible chemical smell, and very ill fitting.

I really liked the photos of this wetsuit top, and I thought the added zippers would be a nice feature. However when it arrived I knew it would be unusable. The top had an overpowering chemical/fuel-like smell. Incredibly strong. I went ahead and tried it on thinking that perhaps I could let it air out or wash it if the fit was good.As far as the fit went, I ordered a size small. I'm 115 pounds and 5'5". It was snug in the chest as it should be (I think a lot of reviewers think wetsuits are supposed to fit loosely.they should be snug with no room for water to wash in and out). Unfortunately the sleeves were completely loose (maybe twice as wide as they should be). It is not proportioned correctly for sizing. I removed it and then noticed that my arms smelled like the terrible toxic smell. I had to shower and wash with soap (as another reviewer stated) to remove the smell. The smell is just strangely terrible.I then wondered what I was thinking.I headed over to a local surf shop and bought a RipCurl top for about $90. Yes, it was twice as much but it was 20 times better with incredible high quality neoprene, stitching that will last a long time, and zero smell.

Pros
  • ‎X-Large
Cons
  • The wetsuit may not be suitable for those with long hair, as it may get caught in the zipper or cause discomfort
