Drysuit resizing

Is it easy to have the neoprene collor of a drysuit (Boost) resized?
Looking to keep from choking while staying warm and dry.
Any idea on the cost?

k9fxr, you might want to check with oneill on that. I know you can get the latex gaskets replaced on them if you send it in. As soon as warm water hits i'm sending my suit back to be repaired. Maybe you could ask them to replace the neopreme on the neck with a different suit size neck?

I haven't tried this but I have heard people say that they used sissors and trimmed the opening down some in the taper. I don't see why it wouldn't work as long as you don't go to far. There was a thread about replacing seals a couple months ago that might be helpful. I contained a link to a company that sells the new seals and explains how to install.
