Your wetti should be tight fitting , they give over time and if you think its to big already then its the wrong size for you

Yea, different brands can be completely different, try them on, make sure they are comfortable, if it is even a little too tight (like barely, you can't even notice when you try it on and move your arms around) it can make you exhaust your muscles way quicker when you are paddling, so make sure it is a good fit, and loose enough to paddle comfortably.

and bear in mind if it is really tight, they do shrink a after a few times in the water, some of the new suits are so stretchy it can be deceptive when its too tight.

I not really following this one...
Does the fullsuit fit well? If so, why did you get a bigger spring suit? Did you try it on first?
