Here’s something to consider with drysuits. They are not made to fit. What I mean by that is they are a generic square cut. Shoulders through the hips are straight for men. Women’s drysuits have a curve to them. A person in a more muscular build will have a very roomy midsectioned suit. Chest and shoulders will fill in fine and so will legs. Midsection is not your biggest size point.
I for example have been asking advice on a purchase I made on a WP D10. I got an XXL. I Wanted room for undergarments as well as fit enough to dive without undergarments. Crushed neoprene suit.
6’1”
195lbs
46” chest
32” waste
26” quads (not thighs)
43” hips
When I check my sizes to manufacturer size charts, my waste size is always way up the chart. Small
Compared to the rest of me that runs XL to XXL. It’s said to have more room than not in a drysuit because of how the air keeps you warm as in circulates through the suit. To big however, causes trim issues as the air inside can catch into extra material due to an oversized area. Lots of guys just say get a custom fit.
WP are solid made. I like the D10 and ScubaPro’s Everdry.
My ScubaPro Everdry is an XL and gets tight with thin fleece undergarments. Temps at 35-40 degrees I like undergarments.
My situation dictates having a cold temp dive suit and a suit for not cold.
