My buddy and I ordered custom Whites suits. He ordered the Catalyst Quadflex and I went with an Aqua Pro Quadflex (I added a pic of mine to my profile)

They took about 4 weeks to arrive which is pretty much what we expected.

My suit fits me perfectly. I have lots of motion, but almost no extra bag anywhere. Way better fitting than the stock rental suits i have been using.

My buddy however found the body of his suit to be about 2 inches too long. His suit has flex panels so he thought the suit should have been much closer fitting and the flex panels would allow any extra motion.

He is a bit unhappy about this and might have to return the suit to have it adjusted. Very disapointing.

My question is, should a Catalyst suit be tighter fitting, or is a slightly more baggy body perfectly normal?

When a custom suit is made, is 2 inches considered a reasonable margin of error? At this point we don't know if the error came from an incorrect measurement, or a factory error. He will need to investigate that I guess.

Anyone own a Catalyst custom suit that could comment?

Thanks.
