get a traffic cone measure your neck transfer that on to the cone then draw a line 25mm smaller pull your seal to that line that way you will always have a seal. if your seal does get slack just rap insulation tape round your neck to get a seal rip it off when you've done for the day or get an elastic band that will do the same. same with wrist seals cut bike innertube in 20mm strips called greys in the diving world just pull them over your wrist seal if it gets slack

I'm not saying that I would never do this, but keep in mind:

- if you misjudge something like the end of the slipway or how big an incoming wake from a passing vessel is, you'll have a suit full of water which will make the rest of the day very unpleasant.
- should you slip whilst wearing the suit like this if its full of water - you are basically wearing waders with the associated problems. You probably won't drown - but you may need to take the suit off to actually be able to walk ashore!

Good way to stretch the neck of your dry suit. Size 4 Basket ball with pimples for grip. Blow it up as you want in the neck

Do you not have an Itiwit inflator? They're much better value.
