I see no problem with a 'trumpet-fish' cut in icy conditions at all.
BTDT-GTTS [1]. A baggier suit will not be any better there. All it needs to
do, is to allow you to wear your undergarment of choice. If you need more
gas in the suit than a tight suit would allow .... no, I really  doubt that
would  be possible while remaining submerged.

For an ICE dive this should really NEVER be a problem. If you are doing
LONG ice-dives, you simply drilled the hole in the wrong place --- Or you
are doing Antarctic videos for Nat-Geo. In which case you should simply
bill them for your argon use. Or better, a hot water suit. About which
Strike could probably tell us a lot, I certainly can't.
