tight or wide dry suit ?
wide dry suit big water resistance profile harder to swim against currents chance to get stuck in begetation etc syphone have more attack area to pull you to your death it´s harder to resist getting the full speed of the water
tight better for swimming but also less upward draft through air under the coatless chance to get clothing underneath protection and isolation and also maybe less manouverability
what do you think ?

i say wide if it is neopren drysuit naturally rather tight not infinitely wide
in warm weather tight maybe in cold wide so if you buy one prepare for wide if you live like me and will go to iceland and mountain rivers
but at grand canyon could be some tighter for hot weather kajaker - so you can swim out of a current or vortex bf

....
Really not much choice if your home water is low temp...imo B. Have ta' dress to swim...but be comfortable as not to destroy upper/lower-body separation(sp?)...then you won't have to swim. (upper/lower-body What?...
)

it said 8 ° C in iceland but now I read glacially fed ones 3-5 or so ... if shelf builds in the pools of the rivers massivly as it does it won´t be a hotbed ( pro. around 0 ° C ) but my ma is 67 so might be more fragile
local german river was fine to swim but now might not be
