the reality here is that putting a wetsuit on correctly takes a bit of time and expertise. we're at ironman arizona at the moment and are fitting hundreds of athletes a day - today we fitted a pro (rutger beke) and moved him from a bad fit to a great fit...and the trick is all about getting the chest rubber free. spend a lot of time pulling (wiggling) the rubber from the hips and lower abdomen up to the chest and to the neck. you should lean forward for this as it allows all the to be under no tension. do it one or two times and try and get a 'wave' of rubber rolling up the front of the body. make sure the suit is also pulled well into the armpits...you should find the suit fits well and you shouldn't have any upper body restriction. follow http://blueseventy.com/owners/fitting.html

the HELIX will be a better suit and profide more free motion, but unless you're a very long torso woman, all our suits will fit you.

so if you're near ironman arizona come and see us, else either try and see a dealer or give us a call next week - ask for tim or ben and explain the issue. we'll get you sorted out.

I'm not sure if you will see this Tim... but thanks! How nice of you to respond.

Unfortunately, I am no where near Arizona. Dang it.

Otherwise, I do have a long torso. I'm all torso. I believe that is why the WMS wetsuit fatigued my shoulders. It fit everywhere, but when I swam it pulled up into my crotch pretty bad. Which makes me think that it was too short in the torso.
