O'Dare is a company that used to make wetsuits in Ireland. That's where I got my old custom suit, but my local dive shop tells me that they don't make them here any more - just buy them in. I'll check out that Predator place.
 
I'm 6' 130 with LONG legs, a short torso and wide shoulders, so I am nearly impossible to fit. Oneil is the best bet. For a fairly low price, they will custom fit a suit for you.
 
Have you tried Camaro? Since they are from Austria they should be readily available in Europe.

O'Neill suits were the only ones that fitted me properly and I have three of them in different thicknesses. With O'Neill I can get the length I need in the torso and legs without having to end up with a baggy suit.

About a year ago I bought a Camaro suit from Sierra Trading Post and it fits very close to as well as my O'Neill suits. My husband is tall and O'Neill works best for him. He's also got a Camaro suit now and loves it. Fits as good as the O'Neill. Only real difference is that peeling off the suit he get really stuck at the heels pulling off the legs. Camaro has only recently started advertising in the US so it's just a matter of time before more people know about them. Very well made and good fitting suits.
 
I've tried on the O'Neill Psycho 2 5mm/3mm in medium tall and it fit pretty well. Think I'll probably go for it. It is made as a surfing suit though - does this matter at all?
