i have been exploring ways of getting the weight on me, weight shapes, harnesses etc
so far have come up with 3 big weights(bout the size of a big paua) that sit in middle of my back
but still not happy

That is what I figure will have to happen with me I guess. I figure that the belt around the waist can just tighten the suit so it doesn't fill with quite so much water, so it's easier to stand up and not so cold. Hopefully a full wetsuit wont be such an issue as the thin triathlon steamer. What thickness are you using? I take it two piece would be better for a weed of my stature?
