Comrade Hardie
Have you worn wetsuit in water yet ?
Is not to late to take back, yes ?

In Mother Russia there are suits made to fit L - XL - XXL and Bear Size... you want me to look for one for you ?

could have fun here, but will bite my tongue.

The shops should have a pool or shower available for trying on wetsuits. They always feel tight when they are dry, and different when they are wet.

You sometimes need to buy the Boa Constrictor, coz when its wet it will be fine.

Dont worry too much about the size thing hardman, used to work in a shop which sold heaps of wetties and every manufacturer are different. A good rule of thumb is that oneils are the biggest cuts followed by rip curl and peak with the really little ones coming out of quicksilver (why would americans make little wetties their all huge). Not sure about the other manufacturers. A medium oneill is a large ripcurl or even an xtra large quicksilver. Dont forget about split sizes too if your short and fat get an LS suit its shorter in the body but wider in the shoulders (and gut) than L. Go to a good store with a big range cos there is always a suit that will fit.
Oneil suits are the best aswell (not just cos I fit them)

OK

L

I see your point
