Wetsuit Sizes
If your dimensions don’t match the chart your weight will over ride your height measurements. ie: Tall and thin or short and fat the soft stretchy open cell neoprene of our wetsuits will accommodate to your dimensions.
You must also keep in mind the thickness of the wetsuit. If a 3mm suit fits well and you go to a 7mm you may be a size larger.
Our wetsuits are European Sizing which is standardized so if you wear a size 54 shirt you simply know that you require a size 54 wetsuit.
Here in Australia wetsuit sizing varies enormously, depending on where the wetsuits are sourced from. A size 5 in one brand can be quite different to another and same goes for L or XL. So we can’t give any comparisons to these sizes.
Wet Suit Fitting
It is important to purchase a wetsuit that fits snuggly against
the skin without much stretch. If the neoprene is over stretched
it thins out losing its thermal efficiency and decreases the suits wear and compression resistance.
Open cell wetsuits are very forgiving and it is easy to wear a
size that is too small. Because open cell wetsuits are so soft and flexible a good fitting suit almost fells slightly large.
