Hi,
I would be super grateful for tips on finding a wetsuit for my shape! I'm tall and have a small waist and chest but some bulk in my hips and thighs. Wetsuits that are a good fit for my upper body are always a sweaty battle to pull up over my thighs, and they also tend to be a bit too short. If they're good for my lower body, they leave way too much space further up.
Searching the forum, I find plenty of tips about e.g. the Henderson brand, but their customer service told me they don't have retailers in the EU. Likewise I find many tips on custom suits in the US. Ordering from the US would mean extra VAT and customs plus long wait times and returns/exchanges would be a hassle. There are some brands that offer tall sizes (e.g. Bare), but EU retailers seem to only carry the regular lengths. I've spent many hours looking and am running out of steam.
So: Do you know of a EU-based retailer that carries a brand with sizes that could work for me? Alternatively, can you recommend EU-based manufacturers of custom-made wetsuits? Any tips would be most welcome! In particular I'm looking for a 6mm long suit, preferably with a hood, but could consider 7mm if no 6mm options turn up.
