The market for tall woman is small. I'm trying to sell my girlfriends drysuit, which is a womens xxl. She is 6 foot size 12-14. And not a single response from my post.

You can't assume that the market for tall women is small simply because you are having a hard time selling your girlfriend's drysuit. The proportion of drysuit divers to divers as a whole is pretty small to begin with.

If you were selling your girlfriend's heavier wetsuit, I'd be all over it! :D Kind of wish I was interested in a drysuit as it might be the first piece of sportswear that I owned that actually fit.

Again, I go back to the point that amongst wetsuit manufacturers the lengths get smaller as the suits go up in size. Makes no sense. If I were a 10, I'd be both skinny and in a wetsuit that fit.
