In an odd twist of fate, I now have a 2 full body wetsuits- a 3/2 in an XXXL and and 5mm in XXL.
I'm 6'2" and 225 lbs. Big dude.
SO anyways- the 3/2 is just a little loose in the armpits, and when I lean forward, bunches up a little bit around the torso. There's just a tiny bit of gap around the wrists and ankles. Likely not an issue with booties and gloves, etc. I'm thinking that pooling and flowing is possible with this suit.
I've also got a 5mm that's just a bit snug. Nice and tight all across the body.
So I'm wondering- are there really good metrics for a good fit on a wetsuit? How snug is too snug? Will the neoprene compression at depth make a change in how it fits and feels?
