Sizing and Fit Guide
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.
Junior suits start at 4XS and finish at 3XL (including an extra MS size which refers to medium small).
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.
