Wetsuit sizing comparison
Quote | Reply
Hey all. I'm in the market for a new wetsuit, mid-tier Yamamoto 39. From fit charts, it looks like I'm a M/T. Roka Elite and Zone3 Aspire look appropriate. I don't like a tight suit across the chest and diaphragm. Between those two, which would you say are looser/tighter in circumference? Any other brand and model I ought to be considering?

Thanks,

cabrero

Ever looked into the Desoto First Wave two piece suits. You can mix or match sizes between the bibjohn and pullover and/or the sleeveless speedtube.

Thanks. I had been aware of them, but never looked too deeply. Do you know which of their neoprenes are similar to Yamamoto 39? Goma 8 or Goma 9? A First Wave combo gets pretty expensive compared to the suits I was looking at.

Keep the price down by buying a black pearl bibjohn, and a T1 top, and watch for discount codes, they have them often.
Also an awesome return policy.
I'm 5'10 175-180, fairly broad shoulders. I use a size 5 in both, could probably squeeze into a size 4 top if I wanted to..
