I also have a CF200, but fortunately for me the seals were already
properly trimmed for me when I bought the suit.  I can say, however,
that the seals feel quite tight even when they're correctly trimmed,
so if you have to do it yourself, be careful that you don't take off
too much.  My subjective feeling is that the seals feel much tighter
on land than they do in the water, especially the neck seal.

Try trimming until you can remain conscious for at least several minutes,
and then go for a test dive :-)
