Cressi Playa Men Shorty Wetsuit For Snorkeling, Diving, Swimming - Premium Neoprene 2.5mm

I love to swim with this wetsuit, made by premium material and very fit to me

I have worn it twice now in the sea (Wales) and find it excellent. Can't fault it. Easy to put on, it is comfortable, unrestrictive and performs really well, allowing me to stay in the water far longer than I would without it. I had misgivings about a front zip, in case it let in water around the throat area, but went for it specifically for that lower neck, thinking it would be more comfortable than a back zip, which tend to make me feel choked. And so it is, and it doesn't leak at all. Brilliant! And superbly constructed. Worth every penny.Now as to sizing, I agree with those reviewers who advise ordering a size larger, although I would also advise to carefully study the sizing chart. After doing so, I ordered a large, despite the fact that for everything else I've ever worn for the past forty years medium has always been a perfect fit. With this wetsuit though, large is a perfect fit.As for the other reported problem, taking the thing off after swimming, I have to concur. The first time, it took me so long I was on the verge of walking across the beach to ask a complete stranger to help--I thought I was going to have to go home in it and cut myself out of it! The second time was a bit easier. As with most things, there's a certain knack to it (I hope!). But I do think you need to be pretty flexible around the shoulders. If you're not, make sure not to go alone to try it out! Anyway, for me, the choice between this and an easy-to-get-off-but-choking back zip is a no brainer.All in all, a great product and great value for money. Oh yes--and for you beach posers out there, it also looks pretty cool.

The wetsuit is much as expected and looks very fit for purpose although I have yet to try it. I have used Cressi fins before and they proved very good. However, the size chart is completely misleading although I did believe it despite other people’s comments on the subject. I ordered the correct size for my height and weight according to the chart which was ‘small’. As I usually take a small in all clothing purchases this seemed correct. Two returns later I have ended up with a ‘large’ which allegedly can fit someone 16kg heavier than me and 14 cm taller! I would suggest you try using the waist and chest sizes given rather than weight and height as these may give a better guide or order at least one size larger than the one for your height and weight.

Followed the sizing instructions carefully and it fits snugly. With the variation in body shapes it's inevitable that it won't be perfect (I'm tall and thin, so a Large pulls a bit on my shoulders while a bit loose around the chest). But I don't really notice it once I'm wearing it, and it looks great on too. Warm enough in a freezing cold unheated outdoor pool on a cloudy day.

Arrived 4 days before due date!Great suit, keeps me super warm on 2-3hr swims in my cold local pool, no more colds!5”7 80kg 34 waist XL a little loose but no issue

Noting the comments of other customers I bought XL, a size larger than I might have guessed. My weight and chest indicated L but waist and height indicated XL; XL is maybe just a fraction too large but much better than a L would have been, also remembering that this is off-the shelf not made to measure. Very happy with it, comfortable, and not really any more difficult to take off than a back-zip wetsuit.
