Big Guy Wetsuit

Postby SomeDJ » Sat Dec 29, 2007 3:10 am

I'm 5'7" and 205lbs. Is there anything out there from factory that'll fit or would I have to get something custom?

Some brands do make some of their suits for slightly bigger set people but I wouldn't know if they would fit you so you need to get down to the shop and try a few on really.

That's the problem. I can't seem to find those brands. The only one's I have found cater to the "perfect" height to weight ratio.

You can also get a custom wetsuit online. My girlfriend is getting into surfing, but she is very petite. So we've been searching for companies that do it online. You just have to send in your measurements from a tailor, and the cost is about $50 over the retail price. Just google "custom wetsuit". Good luck man!

O'neill do them for a start. Their sizes MS, LS and XLS are for heavier but shorter people. Haven't looked at other companies but I'm sure they also exist.

O'neill size XLS = from 5'8 1/2" tall and up to 200lbs. That won't be too far off in a stretchy suit.
