Roka wetsuit sizing

Hi everyone,

Black friday deals make Roka wetsuits look (almost) affordable and I'm therefore willing to get one.

Could you share your experience regarding sizing?


My recommended size is an ST (183cm and 66kg). However my size for Roka's trisuits (Gen II Aero sleeved) is MT (and the recommended size was an S). What size should I pick for the wetsuit?

Thanks!!

I’m 5’10” 155, with a long torso and muscular build. I wear MT in both the Maverick Pro and the Team USA ITU Kit, in spite of not being tall. The regular medium is just too short in to torso for me. Not sure if that helps, but it’s just my 2 cents.

Thanks - so the idea would be to get whatever works for me with one product and transpose the sizing to another of their product?

Anyone can confirm that?

When I called and spoke with ROKA about what size to order they suggested I order two sizes try both and return the one that doesn’t fit

Would prefer to avoid that as shipping costs are on the customer (based in Europe).

But thanks ;-)

Aren’t there deals on wiggle for roka? Although a friend just ordered with the 50% off...but the shipping , tax and customs was about 390 to Germany. That’s still insane.
For sizing..I’m 1,78 at 73 kg fitting perfect in M.

I wear a large-tall in their tri kit and a medium in their wetsuit. I'm 6' 165lbs. So I'm my experience the sizes don't translate from trisuit to wetsuit

Haven’t checked on wiggle but will do. When ordering from France (and I think that applies to Germany too), they are shipping from the UK and so there are no taxes just shipping costs

I'm 5' 9 1/2" - about 177cm - and 11 stone ish - 70kg. I'm fairly broad in the shoulder and narrow in the hip/waist. I wear a Medium Maverick Comp II.

My previous suit was a 2010 Orca 3.8 in size 7. It is the older suit with the tattoo style pattern on one arm. Still fits ok.

Hope that helps.

I would agree with that
St wetsuit and Mt aero suit for myself
And both I max out.
