Neck entry wetsuit

A wetsuit comprising,

• an upper trunk portion having integral arm components, and
• a lower trunk portion having integral leg components,
• the upper trunk portion including a back panel that partially defines an inner neck opening for entry into and out of the wetsuit, the inner neck opening being cut low enough and formed wide enough on the back side of the upper trunk portion so that the neck opening is at or below the base of a person's neck,
• the upper trunk portion further including a closure panel attached on the back side at a point below the upper edge of the back panel, the closure panel forming a collar with an outer neck opening that closely conforms to a person's neck, the closure panel including a closeable cut out region extending from the outer neck opening down to a point below the upper edge of the back panel, the closeable cut out region giving the closure panel an open position that is substantially wider than the inner neck opening and a closed position that closely conforms the closure panel around the person's neck,
• the back panel being made of relatively elastic material so that the inner neck opening can expand a sufficient amount to permit entry into and out of the wetsuit through the inner neck opening, the open position of the closure panel being sufficiently wide so as not to interfere with expansion of the inner neck opening.
