SeaskinMens 3mm Shorty Wetsuit Womens, Neoprene Front Zip Short Sleeve Scuba Diving Wetsuit Snorkeling Surfing

First off, let me preface this by saying I never got to use this particular item. I am returning it due to sizing and am writing this just so others can hopefully get a better sense than what the provided sizing chart says. Seems good quality. Zipper seems durable. Comfortable and easy to get on and off despite it being smaller than I anticipated. I am about 135lbs, 5'10 (so on the leaner side with relatively athletic build/broader shoulders). Got a small and the torso was perfect length but the shoulders were very, very tight. I could barely move my upper body and bending over was difficult. I think I am going to exchange it for a medium.

This is my first wetsuit 3mm shorty, my wife has owned several for diving and triathlons, we bought two one each with me ordering a large and extra large for fitting purposes, the XL was delayed a couple days. I ended up canceling the XL order as the Large fit great. My initial thoughts the stitching is ok we will see how long it lasts, great value for the money.Putting the suit on I was like wow that was easy. I zipped it up a bit and stepped into it, put arms in and zipped all the way up on the Large and it was a perfect fit at 5'7 180, 46.5" chest, 43" hips, 36" waist. My wife did the same, though she had extra material around her mid section as she is an athlete and athletic build but was fine with it and didn't affect the wetsuit performance in cold water. If you have a bit of a mid section these will fit you fine order to waist / chest size, I was between sizes L/XL and Large fit me well not too tight and with a long torso no compression from the suit on shoulders down. If you have an athletic build maybe consider a different brand as this seems to have a bit of extra material for mid section.We did our first dive in them at Sand Hollow State Park in Utah, air temp was 101 F surface water temp was 74 F, thermocline at ~30' deep was a cool 58 F, a bit colder at the bottom at 53' deep. Our longest dive was 41 minutes, we spent about 16 minutes below 30'. The wetsuit worked great kept our core warm, easy to swim / snorkel in. To take off, unzip and one leg steps out super easy. We did over 5 dives in two days and are super pleased with the wetsuit performance even at depth in some cold water.Everyone else was diving in a full 7mm wetsuit, we just laughed watching them pull, twist, turn trying to get them on or struggle swimming on the surface to the dive area. At least three people ordered these same wetsuits after watching us.We are looking forward to our cruise and diving the Caribbean in them.

Nice quality for the price. Easy to wear and get off.

Having had many wetsuits over the years (some shorties, others some variety of full), I'd say the design and construction of these are near the top of the list. The size recommended in the sizing chart was, for me, right on: a little tight, but that's the way these are supposed to fit. I recommend these without reservation. (One box to check for rating, which I ignored, was for "flattering." I did not check it because I don't know what that really means in terms of the product itself, however I must say that I think I look quite handsome, if not flattering, when I have it on.)

I swim every morning 1-2 km, this is my second one. First one lasted about a year. For the price can't beat it.I would recommend it for sure.
