6'1" & 135 pounds////which suit?

[THE_AXEL]

Hi,
I'm 6'0~6'1 and I'm looking for a 6.5mm Farmer John. Only problem is I can't find a right size. Is the medium tall any good for me? Or do I haave to customize it, only problem is I'm 16 and I'm still growing and I don't wanna spend bux on customizung it. (Grew 2 inches this summer and last summer grew 3" ) Any advice? :06: :06:

Wow. I didn't think there was another person out there with my dimensions.

I have the same problem. The Henderson Hyperstretch suits fit me pretty good stock, so a one piece 5 or 7mm suit would probably work good for you. Some companies do make MT suits, one I know of is Bare. They make nearly all their stuff in MT, both drysuits and wetsuits. Have you thought about getting a single-piece suit? Bare has a 6.5mm semi-dry that is available in MT, or the Hyperstretch suits I mentioned.

Do you have a link. Yea I was thinking of going for a 7mm but is a 7mm to hot for 65-68 degree water? When I went up around San Francisco the water was really cold. My guess is 50s and I had a shorty 3 mm...lol...HyperStretch I heard aren't as warm as the other 7mm.

Thnaks for the quick post!!

Have to agree with the Dr. on that one - Henderson Hyperstrech streches 200x, and will fit like a custom after a few wears. They have a med tall which should fit your measurements.

It's not as warm, but it's still warm enough if you wear a hood to make up the difference.

I wouldn't think that 7mm would be too warm, I sure wouldn't mind it! Here's a link to Bare's suits: http://bare-wetsuits.com/bareshop/divehome.asp

Any opinions welcomed!!!

Looks like it will be a few inches short for you. And it's pretty expensive for a used suit.

Here's a few cheap new wetsuits:

NICE, I think I'm gonna buy the Velocity Combo (Men's)
$135.95 but there's no MT so I think my option for second is,
7mm Arctic Fullsuit (Men's)
$159.00.

NICE PRICES....THANkS

I would go for the Arctic fullsuit and a hood. One pieces are always warmer than two-piece combos, and the extra price to get the MT size would be well worth it.

I heard that the attached hoods are unconfortable, but it looks nice and warm for my little skinny body...lol
