Big guy needs some help

[OffShoreMedic]

Hello everyone, I'm a frequent lurker but a first time poster here. I have a quick question about BC sizing. I'm a big guy, 6' tall and about 345-350. I am a former powerlifter so I have big legs but am also thick around the midsection. I wear a size 52 pants. Right now I'm having a hard time finding a BC that will fit around my midsection and chest. Does any manufacturer make a larger BC or does anyone custom make them? Thanks for all of your input in advance.

I'll probably get flamed for this, but have you given any thought to a BP&W from my understanding they will fit anybody. Just so you will know ,I have not ever used a BP&W yet.

Welcome to the Board OSM

I know others will have a better Idea about Bcs I am also a big lad but you got me beat . Your best route maybe to look into a back plate and wing setup will be able to customize it alot better to your size I have dove with a couple individuals about your size and the BP/W was there only real option.

well, this is the closest size i found for you, its the oceanic probe lx

and you can always go with a back plate (or most tech setups) they are usually easy to manipulate.

good luck and happy holidays.

Have you tried Zeagle yet they are about the best fitting BCD in the markey,here is a little something from their web site:Torso length (shoulder to waist dimension) can vary a great deal, even for individuals of the same height. If you are either very short or long waisted in relation to your height or waist size, conventional "generic" sizing may not give you a good fit. Zeagle's interchangeable components allow your dealer to fit waist size, torso length, and chest size independently, giving you a personally sized system.
I hope this will help in what you are looking for,and have a nice Holiday.
