I ended up with the L/XL size. I think im going to try to get some help the first time around. Experienced eyes never hurt to have there....

I am on my second fusion, both different sizes, and have trimmed all of my neck seals. Neck sizes vary regardless of the suit size.

Volleyball trick? You probably dont mean shove a volleyball through the neck seal, but thats what I pictured in my mind :nutty:

I got the seals trimmed a bit, only one or two rings I believe, felt a little better. The guy told me to stretch the neck seal on my tank (I dont think he realized I have a 119) and the wrist seals on pop cans or something. Does latex "loosen" from stretching like that. Ill probably just wear it as is.

You can stretch it over a tank, actually, even a 119. Neck seals are surprisingly stretchy. But, if you are reasonably comfortable with them as they are then don't worry about it. They will relax over time.

volleyball, tank. Something that measures approx what your neck is. Then let it set and stretch. However, I dont bother with that. If you are diving regularly, it stretches out on its own soon enough.

Hey Josh, you don't happen to have a 2XS-XS in stock for Gabby to try on, do you?

Where out of the whites fusions right now but we can order them in.

Does this sale expire at some point? She's interested in the fusion but sizing is the main concern. Going by the chart she's a 2XS-XS. Maybe someone in the shop can eyeball her and let us know if that would be right?
