50+ year old divers

I do have a problem though, does anyone know who supplies wetsuits for well padded guys? I am 5'10 and 210lbs. The current Mrs P says I have enough blubber not to need a suit but they do stop the kit chafing.

I'm also a 71 year old guy with a little extra body. (5'11" 220 lbs.) I found that the Henderson wet suit with the high stretch neopreen comfortably fits all the extra bumps and things my body has grown. The suits come in different thickness but I use the 7 mil since I dive cold water quarrys most of the time. I think you would like this suit, except for the price. It ain't cheap.

The Aqualung Flex (XXL or XLS) is probably about right, maybe even just an XL. An XXXL will definitely be too big.
