So, I've read all of the input on how to properly check the fit of a wetsuit, so I get it.
Hoping/not sure if i'll be able to properly try on, swim in and return if needed from the online retailer that I'm buying from.
My question is kind of general and i'm working from the assumption that i wont be able to exchange.
Do i start with the medium (170-174) which i am 1 lb heavier than right now but would be down into for race weight
or
size up and be in the smallest end of the range for that size. That range for me maxes at 189.
I'm thinking i'll be able to use for at least 5 years, but not so sure that i will always be below 175 for race weight as i get older and then wish i had bought the larger size.
I've seen some people say go with the smaller for the tighter fit, but not sure if thats the right approach.
