Nex-Gen seems HUGE.. need advise

[toddbr]

Hello, I have just bought a Bare Nex-Gen dry suit and it seems really large. I am 6'3" and about 200lbs. I bought the XL withteh XL CT200 undergarmet. Anyone diving the XL? Do I need this extra room or should I return it and get the large? I haven't dove this suit yet so maybe I need to get it in the water first... Thanks!

Didn't you try it on before you bought it?? Anyway, Bare used to have a very comprehensive sizing chart for their suits. I don't have one handy, but I would think you should fall into the XL range.
I would think you should work this out with the dealer instead of online with someone who can't even see you.

Bought it from leisure pro and I did fall into the sizing for XL but it just seems so big.

Leisure Pro only carries ~1/2 of the Sizes that Bare's makes. I fell into 2 sizes (MLT and MT) and the MT was the better fit.

Do you think Bare will exchange it even though you bought it throug LP? Assuming you haven't used it and tags are on it etc?

Buy the next size down from LP and see.

You can always return stuff to them that isn't yet used.

I usually buy two sizes of some clothing, when I'm buying online. I then return the one that doesn't fit-no problem with good online retailers-they understand.

BARE won't even talk to you LP is not an authorized dealer.

How can they provide LP with the suits and then say that they're not an authorized dealer?
