Unless you've worn one, knowing what 'too tight' means is sort of difficult. The wrist seals on my CF200 are what I'd call comfortable, but the neck seal is 'tight', although it doesn't seem to be cutting of the blood supply. I don't know if this is right or not. Last weekend I was diving with a guy who had a CF200, and the neck seal had been trimmed down so far that it didn't show over the warm neck collar. Mine does stick out above the collar, so maybe it's too long (tight). BTW, your dive shop is supposed to do the trimming for you, but mine didn't. Scott.
