Me modelling the "drysuit", a thick neoprene suit we wore for kayaking on cold water. Mine seemed to be a size too small (as were the overboots they gave me), I think because the guides had a momentary fit of politeness and didn't want to offend me by handing me too large a suit. These things are really hard to get in and out of (the sealing-rubber at the neck and wrists is really sticky, and the built in feet are very delicate so you aren't really supposed to stand until you have the overbooties on. Therefore by the time I'd wrangled my way into the thing and realized it was a bit snug I didn't feel like hassling them for another size and delaying the entire trip. There was no permanent damage!
