Wetsuit sizes

Postby toonraider » Sat Nov 03, 2007 2:19 pm

Hi all,

Was wondering whether you could help me.

I am 5'3 and fit in a Tiki K6 wetsuit. The guide height for a K6 is only 4'9ft!

I am looking to get a Quiksilver Ignite. The smallest size they do (which I can find) is an X small, the guide for this is 5'6.

Is this an accruate guide????

(I cant try one becuase no where local round here sells them!)

If not can anybody recommend a 6/5/4 wetsuit in short fella sizes!!!

Thanks for your help.

yea, firstly you can get away with a bit, if the suits a little to big or a little to small, just aslong as its not a lot, where you surf to? i just got the xcel infinity, awesome suit, how much you looking to spend on one?

Surf just over the other side of the river from you at Tynemouth. Was looking at the infinity but again think again the smallest being over 5'7 think its a bit too big.
