I tried on a wetsuit today, one of the Ripcurl e-bomb 5/3s, and the best fitting size (L) was about perfect (snugg, flexible, no baggy bits) except around the neck where it felt too tight. Will this be a problem in the water, or will it loosen up a bit?

I think that you want it a bit tight , this should stop cold flushes. :D

And Welcome by the way......

both my suits are really tight around the neck.

But, i don't notice that at all in the water, only if i'm sitting around on the beach or somewhere, so I think you'll be fine with that suit.

i bought a quicksilver syncro 4/3 for 80$ sale!! and its been working really nice. I have little burns on my neck but it was a good buy. I'm growing so im trying to keep it pretty cheap for now for the wetsuits.
