Scuba Forum / General / September 2006Where to buy a XXXXL Scuba wetsuit?
Hello I am located in Ontario, Canada and I just tried on a XXXL Ocener scuba suit and it was a two piece and the bottoms fitted PERFECT however the top wouldn't even zip up my leg. I am about 260 pounds, 5 foot 10, 40 waist, and a 50 chest. I am looking for a two peice wet suit for a reasonable price and I am wondering if anyone could tell me where I can buy one, I like the Henderson's wet suits, but they don't make them in a 4XL or a 5XL. Also I would like a 7mm wet suit. ANY IDEAS? Thank you in advance for your time!

This means no ankle or wrist zippers or semi-drys. I got Akonas, they were cheap and very decent quality.  SignaturePopeye It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. - Aristotle www.finalprotectivefire.com So here's another interesting questions using the chart below from LeasurePro.com, for my own body specs I fall into multiple categories, my height, weight and waist size don't all line up so which one is more important? Length fit? I'm 6'6' 235lbs and 38" waist??? Small Medium Medium/Large Large X-Large 2X-Large 3X-Large 4X-Large 5X-Large Chest 32-35 35-37 37-39 39-41 40-42 43-46 47-49 50-53 53-57 Waist 27-30 28-30 29-31 31-33 33-35 35-39 40-44 46-49 49-53 Hips 32-35 33-35 35-37 36-38 38-40 40-44 45-50 50-53 53-57 Weight 115-135 135-150 145-160 155-180 175-195 195-210 210-240 235-265 260-290 Height 5'6"-5'8" 5'7"-5'9" 5'8"-5'10" 5'9"-5'11" 5'10"-6'1" 6'0"-6'3" 6'1"-6'4" 6'1"-6'4" 6'1"-6'4" > Hello I am located in Ontario, Canada and I just tried on a XXXL Ocener > scuba suit and it was a two piece and the bottoms fitted PERFECT [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Thank you in advance for your time! > "cold & wet diver" waist, you can fold the length up " I ahve a feeling that if I buy based on waist I'd end up with a suite that it to short, not to long. Obviously the chart didn't come through very well but if someoen like me bought based on Waist = 2X Large Weight = 3X Large Height = 5X Large+ I'm assuming that the person asking the origianl question is going to have the same problem. > So here's another interesting questions using the chart below from > LeasurePro.com, for my own body specs I fall into multiple categories, my > height, weight and waist size don't all line up so which one is more > important? Length fit? I'm 6'6' 235lbs and 38" waist??? If I was a -normal- size guy, I would never buy a wetsuit anywhere but an LDS. It was just never an option for me. If I was as tall as you, I'd go by height, just to make sure the legs and sleeves were long enough. If your size stays pretty constant, I'd consider a custom made suit. > Small Medium Medium/Large Large X-Large 2X-Large 3X-Large 4X-Large > 5X-Large [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >> Thank you in advance for your time! >> "cold & wet diver" "If your size stays pretty constant, I'd consider a custom made suit." Constant is a term that my wife may argue against. This actual reminds me of what I've always wanted to write when filling out job profiles. Can communicate effectively in English???
