You don’t need to be good at swimming to save lives.

OBVIOUSLY YOUR STUPIDITY IS ONLY MATCHED BY YOUR INCOMPETENCE.

How about trying a hood with a long neck tube that comes down over the neck seal and acts as a 2nd seal?

Each member could buy a hood that is fitted to them and then use the best fit uni suit.

Just a thought.

Yep tried that, but the hood doesnt make as tight a seal on the neck
and water still get's in.

Same principle, but gonna try a neoprene neck seal first, then the latex
over the top.

You could always leave the teat on,

It wouldn't solve the problem but you'd have a real laugh !

How about win sealing the hood? Latex on the inside that layers inside the suit seal, this then has the neoprene outer layer over the suit seal.

Could work?

We have exactly the same problem with school suits in spite of a big selection of sizes. They either leak or cut off the blood supply it seems...
