I am posting this on behalf of a friend of mine. Does anyone make a wetsuit that will fit really large arms. This friend is a former training partner who is built more like Mr. Olympia than a triathlete. He has been having to use a sleeveless suit for swimming and recently he got hypothermic while doing IM Zofingen (they were going to pull him from the race until he agreed to sign a waiver). Anyway I thought I would ask around and see if anyone knew of a wetsuit that had large arms (bigger than my quads probably) but wasn’t designed for a land whale in case he ever does another race in really cold water. Thanks in advance.
There is a company, somewhere, that makes custom made wetsuits. I remember seeing an ad for it in Triathlete or Inside Tri. I’m sure a google search will pull them up.

That depends what measurement is considered huge?

I haven’t asked him to get out a tape measure but they are bigger than my legs. Just a WAG, but I’d say more than 21 inches
There is a reason Zofingen is a duathlon…it’s cold…no one swims there.
DOHHH!. Lanzarote…sorry had a brain fart. (sound of head beating against wall).
