Best to try them on, but here’s my measurements: 147lbs and 5’10.5", chest 37", 85cm inseam. Size 6 fits me right on top but left 1/3 of my shins uncovered, size 6.5/MT fits me just right. YMMV

I tried on several this weekend from several of the top brands and the fit was totally different. The cool new wetsuit with all the great technology sounds great on paper, but that means nothing if it doesn’t fit properly. Try a bunch of them on. If you have your heart set on that one, try on both sizes.

Order up. In my experience, Orca has always run a little smaller than other brands.

I 'd worn the 6 and 6.5/MT sizes 2005 Orca Speedsuit and PFlex suits. Both fit similarly although the higher model is more stretchy and less heavy (thinner?). I’ve long legs/short torso (my knees are ahead of my shoulders when I bend in half) and the 6.5 has no restrictions on me at all especially when wet.
