Dave,
I chose the "tight is better" differential when I purchased my wetsuit.
Being close fitting attire, I can't really wear thick fleece underneath,
just light to mid-weight polypro.  Due to the "law of conservation of mass"
I'm a little fatter than before, so things are real tight now.

What weight/thickness of fleece are you referring to? Enquiring minds want
to know (what say you Greybeard?).
