Scubastore Sizing Chart

Usually, we Americans cringe at the European wetsuit cuts. Seems we in the "new world" tend to be a bit more....er....robust than our ancestors.

But, looking at the wetsuit size chart on the diveinn store, my head started to spin. I weigh about 158lbs (72kg), and stand 5'8" (172cm). Pretty "normal" when it comes to average dudes around the world.

So, why does the diveinn store seem to only cater to bowling balls? Am I a size "3" - (5'5" - 135-175lbs !!!!) or a size "4" (5'7" - 155-190lbs)??

What the heck is going on? Did the freediving world suddenly get an influx of portly folks.

If it's bad for me, Connor (cdavis) and Chris (fondueset) don't have a chance in hell of finding a wetsuit that fits from that store. Jon might even be too "thin" to buy one.

If you have experience with Mares/Aqualung suit sizes, please advise.
