Scubapro wetsuit sizing between models help (Everflex vs Definition)

[bencaha]

Hello everybody! I am going on a diving trip in February (Red Sea) and will want a 7mm wetsuit for it as anything under will border on being too cold. I already own a Scubapro Everflex wetsuit that fits me really well. Now, for a 7mm I found a Scubapro Definition in the same size for a really good price second hand (never worn), but I am unsure if the Everflex and Definition line actually are identical when it comes to sizing. Does anyone have any experience in this regard? Thanks in advance!

Get a semidry suit.

Since Scubapro started using Yulex material, making parallels between suit models in sizing was challenging. I'm size 2xl Short in the old Everflex suit, but the same size in the new Yulex material suit is too tight.

I see. I have read the Yulex fits snugger initially but stretches out a bit over time. How much did you have to size up?

I didn't buy it. It meant that I had to go to 3XL which is way too long for me.

Ah got it. Thanks!
