Omer Ocean mimetic

Hi everyone i am about to go ahead with the Omer Ocean Mimetic but there is one problem ,because its on runout sale there is limited sizes available.
The closest size that will fit me is a size 3.
On the size '3' suit it is perfect for my chest and waist, however i am 178cm tall and the size 3 says height between 168cm-174cm.
Do you think that breaching the chart by 4cm will be too big of a risk??????
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Kano.

Re: Omer Ocean mimetic

If i were you i would do some extra home work to see what the implications of a smaller suit would be , get to try some somwhere or even contact the dealer to see what they think.It might be worth it whatever you decide!

Personally , i wouldnt take the risk. If i spend a packet on something , i like it to be spot-on [even if i have to pay extra just to get it 'just so']

Weigh out the saving your making and think 'if this doesnt work out' you will have to sell the suit second hand for less than what you bought it for, AND buy a new suit

whatever you decide , good luck

Re: Omer Ocean mimetic

Yea thats exactly right!
I have decided to order an Elios Sub from UK. They do custom fits and i love the camo pattern. For more durability i have gone ahead with the superlastic linned inside and Pelagos camo outside in 3.5mm.
Very excited as these suits are very reputable.

Looks like you have already made your decision however, dont get a size 3 if you change your mind. The Omer suits are "small" and always go a size up on that brand.
