How should a wetsuit fit?
A wetsuit only works optimally if it fits tightly to the skin without being restrictive. This leaves a thin layer of water between the skin and the neoprene, which heats up with your body heat and keeps you warm.
fit
The wetsuit should fit tightly so that a thin layer of water forms between the skin and the neoprene, keeping you warm.
heat loss
A loose suit allows water to penetrate, which reduces insulation and causes you to cool down more quickly.
freedom of movement
If the suit is too tight, it will restrict your mobility, which is especially problematic with thicker suits.
flexibility
You should be able to easily bend forward and touch your toes without it restricting you.
