Choosing the right size wetsuit is essential. If the fit isn’t correct, then your suit might not keep you warm or movement may be restricted.

The best way to ensure your wetsuit will fit well is by measuring yourself. You’ll need accurate measurements for your height, chest, and waist. When measuring your height make sure you’re barefoot and standing on a flat surface. Your chest measurement should be taken under your armpits and around the widest point of your chest. When measuring your waist, breathe out and measure around the narrowest part of your waist, between your ribs and your hips.

Men’s wetsuits are sized from XS to 3XL. Alongside these standard sizes, we also offer S (small), T (tall) and L (large) variants to small, medium, and large sizes (indicated with a suffix, eg: MT) to cater to all shapes.

Please note that our Men’s sizing comes in Future Fit and Classic Fit. Future Fit encompasses our Session, ReWired and Wired range, and is suited to a more triangular body shape (wider shoulders and narrower waist). Classic Fit is found throughout the Element and Legend ranges and lends itself to a squarer shape.

When trying your suit on, you’re looking for a snug fit all round. There shouldn’t be any excess material around your neck, under your arms or behind the knees, as this means the suit is too big and it won’t keep you warm. You should also make sure your suit isn’t too tight in these areas, as this will restrict movement, cause rubbing and put strain on the neoprene, possibly reducing the wetsuit’s lifespan.
