CRESSIWomen's Short Front Zip Wetsuit for Surfing, Snorkeling, Scuba Diving -Lido Short Lady

It’s a very nice product, my first wetsuit. I had to return it twice ( no issues) because I bought it too small. Read everything you can about sizing, including generally about how to buy a wetsuit that will work for you. I’m 5’4” and 145 pounds; needed an XL which may indeed sag when wet but at least I won’t again get stuck in it ( not kidding. I could get my arms in but then had to get help extricating myself. Very humbling!)

Getting ready for dive trip and wanted to buy instead of renting, good fit overall, would be nice if Cressi added a pull for the zipper as when it is wet usually helpful to have a lanyard like pull as wetsuits are stuck to you when wet , but will add one myself using a sports lanyard that is nylon. If you are someone who evaluates cost of equipment rental as I do, this is a really good purchase for the price (e.g. renting one for 4-5 weeks at usually $12-15 / per day this pays for itself in 5 days, just for one trip).

on the small side

First thing: half of why I ordered this particular wetsuit was because I hate having things pressing on the front of my neck. I expected that the front-zipper design would be much more pleasant for me. I am very pleased with the comfort of the neckline, as I had hoped! No pressing on my neck, no making me feel strangled.Second: I'm 5'3", 150, and curvy, so finding a wetsuit that will fit is challenging, to say the least. They all seem to size up in all dimensions at the same time, so getting one wide enough means getting one that expects me to be many inches taller than I am. I ordered an XL and an XXL, since all my dimensions (except height) were within the listed dimensions of both and I wasn't sure how tight the XL would be. It turns out I prefer the XL. I had hoped I could pull up the crotch and just have it bunch elsewhere but NOPE. The height is the height and the stiffness of the material means I just have 3 or so extra inches of empty wetsuit crotch below my actual crotch. Not ideal, a little annoying, but the rest of the suit looks really good and fits like a glove, so I'm going with it. :)(As a side note, I didn't know what to expect in the bust support department, but the reality was better than expected. The suit fits me about right and on the snug side--again, I did measure before ordering and got one that was supposed to fit snugly--but also, because the cut is fitted, my chest naturally ends up in the general area of the suit where it's supposed to be, regardless of whether I am wearing some support under the wetsuit or not.)Edit to add: I read somewhere that the suits are looser when wet, and that turned out to be the case. Not HUGELY lose, but enough to make me wonder if a Large would have been a better idea. Still, the XL is hard enough to get on, I'm not sure how I could have squeezed into an XL when dry.

Just finished my scuba diving in the Red Sea… It fits beautifully the zippers work well… I had to only use it one time because it kept me so warm. I was almost hot… However, it was not the suits fault the water temperature and the red Sea was way warmer than I thought… I love this Shorty and we use it many many times on the dives.

I had to return item and there’s no info on seller contact. I wear a medium and this suit was saying medium only it would not even go over my thigh. It was way too small. Called Amazon to return although no info on seller. Amazon was excellent in crediting my account. 10 stars for Amazon. I am so disappointed with co. Cressi not having proper information for return. I will order another one from another company or store.

Update: I used this for the 10 days we were in the Grenadines snorkeling. It was perfect. The fit ended up being just right for me and the quality was great, especially for the price.I haven't gotten to use this yet - so this is only about my initial reactions. The neoprene is a nice quality, the stitching looks well done.I'm a size 4, 5'3" and 115lb: The small fit just right everywhere, and is comfortable, except the torso seems a bit short (which is strange because I'm not tall). I'm a bit concerned about it, ummmm, riding up while I'm swimming, if you know what I mean. I am right in the center of the 'small' size on their sizing chart, so I assume the torso issue is a user error :)Anyone with a larger bust may be uncomfortable - it fits me just right and I'm a 34B.I've never worn a wet suit before, so I could be getting it on a bit wrong - or it may just need to be wet. My husband thinks it looks like it fits perfectly. I think if I went up a size it would be too loose for the purpose so I'm going to try it out in May and hope all is well.

I wasn't sure, based on the size chart, if this would fit me. I'm 5'7" and about 165 lbs, so I didn't really fall anywhere on the size chart, but I liked the suit so I took a chance. It fits really well. I do hold most of my weight in my hips and chest without much of a belly, so I'm not sure how it would fit someone of similar height and weight with more belly weight. It fits me very snugly in that area, but it will loosen in the water. Overall, a nice wetsuit for the price. Looking forward to wearing it on tropical dives.
