Guide To a Proper Wetsuit Fit

[BigMyo]

I have just taken delivery on a new wet suit and found this video because I felt it was too tight and uncomfortable. Thank you for clearing this up, it was nearly being sent back.

Yeah good video, I’ve just bought my first wetsuit, tried it on when I got home and felt like a sausage that was about to explode. But definitely better once I got into the water ✊

Just bought a wetsuit and feels like it is kinda small and tight but after I saw this video end up its the right fit for me. Thank sir!

[miktara]

Good info. Thanks. Was about to return mine as too small, which I dry tried at home. I guess I will try it in the water now.

Yeah my wetsuit is bordering on choking and it does a good job of keeping the water out. After 3 winters I got the maker to renew the neck and use thicker material and it worked.

I just purchased a wetsuit and had doubts because it felt a little around too tight around the chest at the store. This makes me feel like perhaps I didn't choose the wrong size after all.

[Zipperneck.]

So true.
I'm 1m80, 77.5 kg. I got a Size 7 Orca Equip (2021) and it is kind tight getting on - particularly around my [broad/manly] shoulders. Looks like a little kid's wetsuit hanging up... but I tell ya, it's great in the water. I use it for openwater swimming, 3km per outing and it is not too tight and very flexible in the arms.

I found one at a used store for $5 and was wondering if it fit how it should. Thanks for clearing this up

When you are a woman it's even harder. We have boobs and curves and weight changes. Wetsuits are not made for curves. The weight does not match the height on charts for many women.

Cheers..I went to a shop today and they didn’t mention anything about that.

Hi
My chest is 110cm, waist is 82cm.
I bought size M which feels too tight on my chest as size M chest is 99-104, but waist fits perfect.
If I to change it for Large, chest should be fine, but waist will be too big as L waist is 84-89.
What do you recommend, change for loose waist, or hope for chest/shoulders to stretch?
Note, I only tried it in a room, I heard it loosens up in water too

Thank u bro! Answered my question immediately

[FRElston]

I am just over 6ft tall and a UK dress size 12-14 and I can’t find anywhere that sells a single wetsuit that I could get into. Any advice for me? I guess it wouldn’t be wise to resort to a men’s wetsuit as the fit would be way off. I don’t want to give up yet…

[Grateful]

Love the Shirt. thanks for the information

for kayaking [on cold water] do not buy a wetsuit that is tight and 'feels a bit uncomfortable' [as the advice here] because, hopefully, you won't spend time in the water to get it wet and have it stretch. I made the mistake of doing that but this presentation helped understand my error of judgment.

Great info. You’ve put my mind at rest.

do u do wetsuits with three leg holes? if so where is the size guide for the third leg

[daniellahuang]

Is there any company website ? then I could visit more product, Thanks

i ordered a Ripcurl flashbomb size 6 initially but it was bit too tall for me and lots of extra materials around my elbows and back of my knees. Then i replaced it with a size 4 which turned out to be quite tight, to an extent that I feel restrictive around my shoulders. But still I took size 4 in the end. Hopefully it will stretch in the water and in time.
