Maybe you should just spend a little bit more if you think that more expensive wetsuits fit you better? I'm definately not in the right size category for wetsuits (6'8"/220 lbs), but I've had good experiences with Langer as well as Prijon and PeakUK wetsuits. The Langer wetsuit is probably around 6 years old now, and my Prijon wetsuit should be around fiver years old. Both still fit well and keep me nice and warm. My guess is that I paid around 120 US$ for the Langer wetsuit and probably around 150 US$ for the Prijon wetsuit. Divided by those years, and the amount of river trips I've used tham, that's a pretty good longer term investment. Ok, I'm curious. What wetsuit size fits 6'8" 220lbs? Normal XL. -- Wilko van den Bergh wilkoa t)dse(d o tnl Eindhoven The Netherlands Europe ---Look at the possibilities, don't worry about the limitations.--- http://kayaker.nl/ |

Ok, I'm a newbie, I'll have to look at the brands you mention. The size charts I remember seem to top out at around 6' 3". |
