Subject: Stretching out neck on wetsuit
Is there a way to stretch out the collar of a wetsuit? Just how tight is it supposed to be? I searched for "wetsuit fit" and didn't find much, but I remember people talking about the neck part being tight so that water won't get in. I can deal, but it drives me nuts because it pushes on my throat while I'm standing around! I'm always tugging at it. The rest of the suit fits perfectly, but I'd like to stretch the collar.

So long as its not choking you I would say thats about the fit of every wetsuit I've ever owned. It should be snug you want it to keep the water thats in there in not a constant flow of new water.

EDIT:

If you're just standing around you could just release the velcro/zipper a little for breathing room without actually taking the suit off or down.
