Hello,
Im looking for some advice regarding purchasing a wetsuit for diving in Monterey. Ive tried to do a bit of research online but I find most of the manufacturer websites to be frustrating in their lack of details and the LDSs in my area seems to be primarily interested in selling the specific models they have in stock.
I really like the idea of a one piece suit with built in hood as opposed to a two piece suit.
Does anyone have any experience with Excel wetsuits? They make a model called the Polar Quad-Density that looks nice.

The problem is that Im tall and thin. 6.2 175lbs 33" waist. That means that most of the medium sizes fit my core well but are too short and most of the large sizes which fit in terms of length are too roomy everywhere else.
Ive also looked at some of the semi-dry suits. The Mares Isotherm Ice Millennium looks very nice but the Mares website does not include any sizing information. Ive emailed the company but got no response. Are there any tall skinny divers out there who own this suit?
Ive also seen a Henderson semidry listed on some online stores but no such suit actually exists on the Henderson website. Has it been discontinued?
Does anyone have recommendations in terms of other one piece 7mm suits that I should look at?
Thanks in advance for any advice you might have!
