What to look for when sizing a wetsuit?
You need to know that the top of the line Metal Cell and Bionik have a longer torso to accommodate tall people, like a lot of the top athletes. If you are a 6’2″ person trying to get into a medium Blitz chances are the torso is going to be too short and the suit too tight, especially in the back. You will put a lot of tension at the bottom of the zipper and the neoprene may give up after too much stretching. This athlete will be a lot more comfortable in a Metal Cell or Bionik medium. Long legs are not so important because you can pull the legs of the suit a little over the calves without causing any tension on the suit or discomfort for the swimmer. The sleeves need to come above the wristwatch and snug under the armpits. When the athlete is in the suit have them cross their arms in front and see how tight the neoprene is between the pectoral and the shoulders. If you have too many wrinkles and the neoprene is too loose, this means that the suit may be too big. Try one size under. Mak
