dry suit sizing

[bigk]

Can anyone tell me how the dry suit sizes run? Are they the same as wet suits or are they larger/smaller. I wear a 5x wet suit just wondering if I can get a drysuit out of a catalog or are we talking custom I'm 6'5" and 360lbs thanks BigK

Most run a little larger than wet suits. This allows entry into them with varing levels of thermal protection.

You can be fitted for a dry suit by any of the top manufactures. Even if you were a little K I would recommend paying the extra for a custom fit. You will be alot happier with it.

I can't comment on your specific size but in my size, xl, there are huge differences from manufacturer to manufacturer, and even from suit to suit.
Look closely at sizing charts and consider all measurements.
I also think shell type suits are more forgiving in size ranges. If you have a suit that's a little large, for example, it will be less of a problem in a shell suit. Ideally though, a custom fit is best.
