Riffe Wetsuits

Ted, tags say 100% nylon, filling material (which is probably the cocking pad on the top and knee pads on the pant) is non fiberous material & neoprene. A one inch soft band goes around the neck and ankles which makes for a sort of elastic type seal. The outside arms of the top are slick but sticky to the skin and there's a four inch strip of the same slick surface on the inside of the waist on the pants which sticks to your skin when on. The waist of the top doesn't have this feature but with weight belt on it creates a seal to your pants which is good enough.
If you get the suits around your ankles and wrists first before you pull it up or put it on you don't need any suit lube.
I tried the med. with both top & pants-too tight. I would recommend Large for both top & pants unless your real skinny and have no muscle. Actually the large didn't have a significant diff. just a little looser around the belly and arms with the top and a little taller for the pants. With pants on the four inch slick strip comes up to the bottom of my pecs I'm 5'6 so a large would probably fit you good-ty
