I am buying a drysuit and since it is hard to buy divegear in my country, and I can not try the suit in advance, I have to buy a stock size. I am going to buy a Bare HD trilam dry, but here is the problem:
I have been lifting weights for several years so my shape is a little unusual:
For the XL size, my waist and hips are perfect but my chest is 2 inches too big.
For the 2XL size, my waist and hips are 3 inches too small, but my chest is the perfect size.
Both are measurements taken from the manufacturers tables.
So what would you recommend?
I figure I should get the 2XL, because I may not be able to fit inside the smaller one, and since the extra material will be around the waist, I should be able to take care of it with my weight belt….and there is some extra room in case I put on some weight
Any opinions are greatly appreciated…Thanks
 
I would think that you could easily get a custom made suit from someone on your continent (you only included your continent as location so I don't know) but especially if you have a unique structure. You can be measured and have the suit built to fit every part of your body, instead of getting a stock suit to fit your chest and arms and have it not fit everywhere else.
