Stock size by brand DUI, Bare, etc

[stano]

I am 235lbs, 5'-9", 38" waist, 44" chest. My jeans are a 38x30. I am trying to figure out I I can fit into a stock drysuit.

I purchased a XXL CF200 recently on eBay. It was gigantic on me, especially overall height. I ended up selling it to a buddy that is 6'-6" tall.

I have looked at the DUI sizing sheet and am struggling to figure out where I fit in. I am thinking LS or XLS might work for me.

I am not stuck on any brand right now.

So my question is, anyone about my size what brand do you have and what size fits you pretty well?

I don't have any real options with respect to trying one on at a shop unfortunately.

Thanks
Stan

I also had trouble figuring out where I would fall with regards to a DUI size chart. So I went to a DUI dealer and had them take my measurements. The information was passed along to DUI where they determined that I did not need a custom suit because I could fit into one of their "select sizes." I will be trying out my new suit at the quarry tomorrow! Good luck!

I am going through the same thing. I tried going to a LDS and they seemed like they were not even interested in selling me a drysuit.

So I am waiting for the scuba show in June and hoping some manufacturers will be there to try stuff on and get some answers.

I have a used DUI XL, I am 15lbs lighter and 1 in taller than you and the XLS would have been perfect for me but settled for the XL and I use the telescopic torso to compensate. Width wise I have a small amount of spare room (enough for 15lbs), height wise I am at the lower limit of the suit being 5'10".

Personally, I would really consider the XLS, the LS is not going to have enough width once you add thermal protection.

Thank you very much for the responses. Anyone else feel free to chime in. So far looks like an XLS might work.
