Leg cramps when wearing a wet suit

Anyone have this happen? I routinely swim 4000 yards 5 times per week. When I start training for open water events and swim with a wet suit, I get calf and hamstring cramps. Could it be the compression of the wetsuit on those muscles? This is recurring thing. Never happens in the pool without one. Tree

    I have the same issues when wearing a wet suit. Also, get the same when I'm cycling in cold weather - I discovered it's not the weather but the the bibs that tightly compressed my legs. I had also thought that other factors such as hydration were to blame.
