Any lady out there use a women-specific wetsuit? Any suggestions for a good full wetsuit?

I use a "womens" sleeveless wetsuit. I don't know that it's as big of a deal with sleeved suits as it is with sleeveless to get a "womens" suit. Here's where I got mine...ProMotion

DeSoto Sport has 2 new (2 piece) 2005 models (First Wave or Black Pearl) with arms that are constructed in such a way that it places them in a "forward rotated shoulder position" to help the shoulder fatigue commonly associated with full wetsuits. It also has a "reverse direction zipper" that zips down the back instead of up the back, and a very low neckline with no velcro closures to avoid rubbing. These features probably make any wetsuit top more comfortable for a man or woman. The whole thing (top) is only 2 mm thick as well, and very stretchy. Think I'm going to buy one of these.

I can only tell you about the men's model, but my Ironman Stealth wetsuit is great, and they do make women's-specific models. Highly recommended.

Thank you for your input. I guess I'll start the sweaty task of trying them on.... :o
