wetsuit is to big

[jeanp2020]

hey guys,

so I'm new here, my name is dean and have a question. So all wetsuits are to big for me, im a dude and even xs is big. Should I get a kids wetsuit/ (like 16 year old)? and would that be weird?

I'm 5'6 18 years old and wheight 115lbs btw.

If it fits no one is going to think it weird, go,big and they might!
They will judge you more by your surfing to see where you fit in the food chain!

Nothing wrong with wearing a kids’ wetsuit. I have a female friend that isn’t a typical body type, and she does the same. Whatever works!

I’m 5’3”125 lbs. I usually buy Youth / Boys size 16. Quiksilver and Billabong fit me good all around. Rip Curl is a little tight thru the shoulders. Hurley ( big boys ) 16 is too wide in the legs especially the calf area.
Benefit for buying youth is they’re cheaper.

That last part sure is a benefit, I'm leaning more against a 14 for quiksilver and 16 billabong

I think size 14 will be too short from Shoulder to Crotch if you are 5’6”.
You need to try them on and scrunch into a ball. If you can’t it’s too tight.

If you scrunch into a ball and your voice goes up an octave, it’s too short
