DUI Harness Size Question

[scooby_diver]

I'm looking into getting a DUI WEIGHT AND TRIM SYSTEM II. I'm 6'4" and 180 lbs with a 34" waist...so I'm tall and skinny. According to DUIs website I should get an XXL but I'm afraid it is going to be too big. Are there any tall and slender people out there using this system? What size do you have and how does it fit? What kind of adjustability does it have? None of the local shops have any in stock so i cant try them on before i buy.
thanks

Can't help you, but I'm curious to hear how it works out. Please post back... I'm 6'3", 185 lbs with a 34" waist... so I feel your pain.

I'm 5'8" and 155 lbs. I went straight by their guide and got the M/L. It seems to fit correctly. It is actually very adjustable. It seems that the key measure is from your waist, over your should and back down to your waist. On someone of your height, that's probably pretty long. That is probably what makes it an XXL, not the girth or lack there of. It seems to be very adjustable around the waist. From my very limited experience, my advice would be to follow their sizing guide.

Well I called DUI customer service for their recomendation on what size i should get and the girl i spoke to said get an XXL. After asking her if she was sure it would not be too loose in the waist, she put me on hold so she could ask someone else there what their opinion was and she came back and said get a XL. I then called SCUBA.COM (the place I was going to order it from) and the guy there told me to get a Large because it needed to be snug in the waist. After getting 3 different opinions :huh: I was still not sure what to get so I got on the phone again and finally found a shop that wasnt too far away that had one XL in stock. I was able to go and try on the XL and it is going to work like a champ. It has lots of adjustability for the height and a good bit for the waist. The lady at the dive shop said it fit like it was supposed to. The price was only $1 more than what I could have ordered it online w/shipping so it all worked out good and I'm happy I could get it locally. I cant wait to try it out.
