wetsuit fit

hey, i'm 150 pounds, 6 feet, and bought a bare arctic 7mm fullsuit and
7mm vest in a medium tall. i wear a 15" inch neck for shirts. i got my
wetsuit in the mail yesterday and tried it on, wasn't too difficult to
get on, its tight, especially in the upper back when bending over.. the
only thing thats a little uncomfortable is the neck, it seems a little
tight, and when i zip the hood up it feels like my cheeks/chin are
scrunched up or being pushed up.. it was dry and in my living room and
the first time i ever wore it so i'm not sure if these are even real
issues, but how do you know if the neck of your wetsuit is too tight?
i'm a pretty thin guy with a relatively small neck so im sure most
people in a medium tall bare wetsuit have the same size or bigger necks
than me, but the veins in my neck do fill up with a little more blood
than usual..

A proper fitting wetsuit should feel too tight when put on dry.

I'm skinny, too, with a pencil neck and hate pressure on the
front of my neck. I also get hickeys where my hood/wetsuit rubs.
My custom wetsuits have always had an attached hood, which helps
a lot, and my off-the-rack suits have all been modified with a
pair of scissors.
