Another fit Q - fusion

[henno777]

Hi Whites and other forum members

After I actually solve my problem of getting a fusion to SA, will you recommend a L-XL or a 2XL-3XL. With two of the measurements (height and crotch to floor) Im on the edge of the L-XL.

My measurements:
Height = 6'1"
Neck = 16.5 inch
Wrist = 7 inch
Chest = 42 inch
Waist/Hips = 38 inch
Crotch to floor = 33 inch
Centre of back to wrist = 29.5 inch
Buttocks = 4.5 inch
Weight = 194 lbs

Thanks for your help
Henno

I'm not Whites but.... I'm 6'3" 205lbs. I have a 2x-3x fusion and it fits great. I think it's better a little too big than too small, the skin will keep the excess from getting out of control.

In my experience the limiting factor was the legs - Whites cuts them a bit on the skinny chicken sticks side - not for cave diver doubles hauling sized legs. My calves measure 17.5" around the largest part of the calf and they would not fit in an L-XL and I had to upsize to the 2x-3x.

Henno, I sent you a PM in response to yours. We are pretty close in all of your dims except the arms and legs. You are close for the L/XL, but from where you live, I would just get the 2XL/3XL and the suit will compensate of the excess material. There in lies the beauty of the skin.

I would tend to agree with the others here - the L/XL MIGHT fit, but depending on your undergarments and the level of mobility you are after, I really think you are better in the 2XL/3XL - with this suit you are better big than small.

I hope that helps!

Until the next dive,
