To wear a dry suit, you essentially step into it and then put your arms in, ensuring a snug fit for the seals. Here's a detailed breakdown based on the provided reference:
Steps for Putting on a Dry Suit
The process, based on the video, involves a specific sequence of actions:
-
Step into the suit: You start by entering the dry suit. (This step wasn't explained in the reference, but is a universal action)
-
Insert arms: Next, insert one arm, followed by the other:
- First arm: Carefully bring your arm through the sleeve. The reference mentions that the suit will be tight going over the arm, but it should go on. The goal is to reach the 'Arnold' (likely a point on the shoulder or arm, a colloquial term), ensuring it's in the correct position all the way up to the elbow.
- Second arm: Repeat the same process with the other arm. Again, the arm goes into the sleeve, positioning up to the elbow.
Key Points to Consider
- Tightness: Be aware that the sleeves might feel tight, especially around the wrists and possibly elbows.
- Positioning: Ensure the seals at the wrists and neck are properly placed to ensure a watertight fit. (This was not explained in the reference, but is a universal action)
- Professional Help: If you're new to dry suits, it's recommended to get help from an experienced user initially to ensure proper fitting and sealing.
