I want to buy a Sharkskin T2 wetsuit but I'm not sure which style. There are 3

  • Multisport - is a top entry pull on but has a great pocket (and ladies love pockets since most women's clothing is devoid of decent pockets)
  • 2 Piece (top and pants)
  • Front Zip full suit

Here are my considerations -
  • Multipsport - is it hard to get on and off?
  • 2 piece - does the top stay put and not ride up and leave a gap for water to get in? The 2 piece has the advantage of letting you pick and choose what to wear based on the water temps.
  • Front Zip Suite - no issues other than not being a flexible configuration. Neither is the multisport but oh ..... that pocket! It speaks to me

If you have any experience, please respond.
TIA!
 
I'm also curious if anyone has tried out the multi-sport suit. Looks cool.

Me too! I ended up ordering the 2 piece and learning that the size charts are way off. I could barely get the jacket on and didn't even take the pants out of the plastic bag. For $10 I was able to send them back for different sizes. Hope I got the right ones, this time!
 
Hey PamelaH ! Do you have any update about the fitting ?
Yes - I ended up with a size 6 top and a size 4 pants which is a very odd combo for me because I'm tiny on top but girl's got some hips! So the top is pretty snug in the hips and pants are a little short in the rise and also snug but they are the right length. It's wild sizing. I am 5' 2" (ish - kind of shrinking) and weigh about 125.
 
I had to go two piece, XXL top (this boy has a stomach) and L pants. Had to return twice to get right size.
 
I ended up buying the multi-sport suit. I'm 6'3" and 240lb. I tried on the XL and XXL. I kept the XXL. It fits great -- tightly, properly.
