I’m a 5’6”, 130# female with small waist, athletic thighs, and a freakishly long torso. What triathlon wetsuits (preferably under $300) are suitable for my build? I used the sizing chart on Xterra (adding, as directed, height inches for a long torso), which put me in a women’s med/large. It was bulky all over and far too big excepting the length, which was far too short and pulled uncomfortably down on my shoulders. I’m thinking about returning it for the med/long but, before I do, wanted to hear what success others have had with accommodating long torsos. I’d prefer a one-piece over a set, if I can find one that fits. I noticed both Zone 3 and 2XU have “tall” sizing. Is that just longer legs or would that sizing work for a longer torso? Any guidance would be very welcome. I’ve studied all the singing charts and written emails to all the companies asking for specific guidance. The customer service is scant; probably more people are working from home and can’t confirm measurements easily.
***Update Edit***
Just received a 2XU Propel:2 in small/medium and it fits my long torso PERFECTLY. Highly recommended for long-waisted swimmers.
