Drysuit for a tall, thin diver - custom or stock ?

Don't worry Axel, I was 6'1", 126lbs in high school and ate like a horse. The good news is that it all catches up to you when you're 40! I'm still 6'1", but as of today...205lbs. (No wonder my drysuit is so tight!)

6'7" 176 in highschool. At 30, I am weighing in at 245, which isn't too bad, but I am not the skinny guy I was in school a ....long time ago .

Wow, anyone of you guys have this problem, I was trying 3 wetuits for size fit, Medium, Medium-Large, and Large. I couldn't get my feet through the bottom of the wetsuit. I couldn't make and of them fit my leg in. I worked up quite a sweat. I was shocked cuz I have puinny feet.

Yes, with guys our size, it is almost impossible to find a non-custom suit that fits. Especially with dry.

Wetsuits with the bottom zippers are very good espeacially for putting in boots! that's a winning combo!!!
