Wetsuit Advice

Postby RussH » Tue Mar 07, 2023 11:18 am

Hi,

Looking for a little advice on a wetsuit brand

I am 6ft around 170lbs (12 Stone) however I have quite a big chest 42inchs and & wide shoulders, I am quite an athletic build with only a 30 inch waist...

Struggling to find a wetsuit that has wide shoulders and chest that also fits my smaller stomach and waist, (most constrict my shoulders which makes surfing very uncomfortable)

The last suit I bought was a medium large

Any recommendations?

I get my suits custom made by Snugg Wetsuits..perfect fit every time.

I wouldn’t buy an off the peg suit after experiencing a proper fit.

I've been debating about it as well. Since one size fit all is just not the way to go. I hate having some parts of it too tight and other too loose. The tight parts always rip and leak earlier. Although custom made wetsuit is a lot more expensive, but maybe it is the way forward so I don't have to buy a new wetsuit every year.
