I’m 5’11", 170lbs. Will be around 165 for IM Moo.
42" chest, 31" waist
I wear a large HED suit (those suckers are TIGHT) and a Medium Orca…but the Orca stretches darn quick. I’d prefer it to be a lil tighter. I wear Med TYR tops and large TYR bottoms when using separates.
In general, I’m a bit longer-torso’d
I’m under the gun to get the right size b/c it needs to get off to the printer ASAP for graphics.
I’m thinking the medium…but it appears my sizing is the large.
Anybody?
Nice garment. Very high quality. I wear a size medium De Soto skin suit. I’m 5’10" 140lbs, 30" waist, 37" chest, long torso. Fits perfectly. You are right on the border. If you like tight go medium. If you like loose go large.

I am 184cm/74kg and use a De Soto Med Suit. It fits good.

5’10" 42 chest 30 waist 155 lbs and I wear a medium. Fits like a glove, but not the type OJ wears.
If anything you could have some problems with the long Torso. I know if I would have to say mine is tight in any one place it in the shoulders. I would think you could still do the medium though and just rely on what little stretch it will have.
I’d say medium if you were buying it from me. also I’m 5’10, 155lb, longish torso, like the suit to fit tight so I can swim in it (I’m in Hawaii…) and I wear a small.
“buying it from me”
Was that a typo? Are you a retailer or have a used suit?
oh, sorry, I work at a retailer. I have a really used suit though if you want to buy it:) Good luck on the tri suit shopping
I would phone or email Emilio Desoto. They have outstanding customer service and he will guide you in the right direction.
I would second calling DeSoto. Email him a race photo with a comment that distinguishes your build like “I got a bucket like JLo”.
I’m also 5’11", 170 lbs hoping to get to 165. I have a medium that fits the way I like for swimming and biking; tight. I can’t go smaller. If you have a long torso, opt for the next bigger size.
Rec’d a lickty split response from Emilio.
Gasp…he said buy em both and return whichever doen’t fit. Perhaps the easiest solution is the most difficult to think of.
D’oh.
I have a long torso as well. I tried a DeSoto suit and thought it pulled too much. I went with the tri top and power shorts. If you’ve read any of my posts on DeSoto, I am a huge fan and can’t say enough good things about Emilio, service, and the product.
