Wanted Drysuit Undergarments, Medium Tall/Large (Santi BZ400x, 4th element Arctic, etc.)

[markbmullins]

I am looking to buy some drysuit undergarments so that I can take my drysuit course. I would probably wear a medium tall or large in most things. I am tall and skinny, about 5'11', and usually wear 30/34 in jeans and medium in tee shirts for reference. I get very cold so I'd like something pretty thick.


Interested in:

Santi BZ400x
Santi 400/200
Weezle Extreme
Fourth Element Arctic One Piece (preferably) or two piece
Fourth Element Arctic Expedition One Piece (preferably) or two piece
Any Others!

A large or Medium tall may more likely fit your height better. I'm the same height as you and slightly thicker, 33/32 jeans and medium or large tees based on cut. My Large BZ400 just fits my height and the body is just right. When I used Arctics (2 piece) the Mediums restricted my movement and the Large was just right.

I appreciate the advice. The sizing issue is what I have been most concerned about. I probably should go large or medium tall, especially since I plan on wearing Merino Wool under these.

I typically wear a Smartwool NTS250 top and bottom base layer under mine.

Have you considered this undergarment. It is 1 piece. I have had mine for over 4 years and love it!

Only issue is that it's $450. For that much I'd probably just buy the Santi BZ400X new, but I am a college kid diving on a budget unfortunately.

Just took some measurements and looked at Santi's sizing charts. Medium Long seems perfect.
