I found a dry suit that looks like it could fit me quite well, sweet price as well at only 250. The height is perfect, I'm about 20-30 lbs below the weight limit, but I'm not really concerned about that stuff. I'm only really worried about the boot sizing.

It comes with a size 10 boot, but I wear a size 9 boot regularly. I can always throw on a thicker sock, but 1 size up is quite a bit isn't it? Any suggestions?

I think it might be too big on you. My 905 has size 11 boots, which fit me great. I normally wear a size 12-12.5, though, so it seems their boots run large.
 
Ah okay, thanks. I decided to pass on it anyways. I was reading great reviews about the 905 until people started saying that once it starts to fail, the whole suit falls apart. And apparently it all starts with a leak in the crotch which this suit already had repaired.
