When purchasing my wetsuit - I checked height, and weight and called it a day. I noticed however, that the legs on my wetsuit are quite tight, herein lies my question.
I would like to get my wife a full wetsuit, but I am stuck with issues regarding size. She wears a size 6 in most clothing, weighs 145, but proportionally speaking, has larger legs / hips then her upper body which is quite small.
I assume from research that she would need a medium, but I am looking for other women with a similar build's advice. I am concerned that if the legs are too small she will have a great difficulty getting the suit off (they are hard enough for anyone) , but If I step up a size for her, than a large would be significantly oversized for her upper torso. I want to make sure she can get the best fit possible, as she has a great deal of excitement with this sport presently.
I would greatly appreciate advice , comments, thanks in advance.
