Wetsuit too long?

I bought a QR something Full wetsuit. I got an XL cause my QR shorty is an XL. It fits fine in the chest but its a couple inches too long in the legs and arms. I think I could fold it in for the legs, but if I do that in the arms it will create more resistance, no clean entry. What are my options? Can I cut the arms to make them shorter? Any tricks to this? OR do I have to bring it to tri shop or wetsuit shop to alter?

Thanks!

No Problem, get a a good sharp scissors and cut away! It won't cause any problem. I've cut the legs on a couple of QR wetsuits and the arms on my current one. With my old quickjohn I first cut the legs to make it easier to remove then I cut it to a shortie when I decided to get a full. The full I cut the arms and the legs. Don't worry, just cut a little at a time so it doesn't end up too short.
