So unfortunately there aren't any good shops around where I live currently to go and try on some suits and other equipment . The only shop I could try some wetsuits on and others was decathlon. The neoprene there was from dare2tri where the XXL just fitted like a second skin. The price was just a bit to high as this is a hobby for me. So a good friend recommended me an online shop, with good prices. I used the measures I've got from decathlon, suit XXL, gloves and socks XL. Today I got everything I ordered and socks+gloves are perfect, the only things is the suit. The suit is now from seac the length is perfect just around my waist it's a bit off. Am not sure if I should return it and ask for an XL since am tall but didn't got much on me (skinny), just worried the XL might be to short. Any suggestions or tips?

Greetings
Dennis
 
Just to compare it. The solution to work out or eat more is not an option.

Hi
The Seac in the first pic is simply not good for you: not only it has large sleeves, they also look too long
XL might work, but you can't be sure until you try it

The other one seems to be much better

Unfortunately, you can't get the size from a certain brand and be sure it works for another
At times you can't even trust the manufacturer size charts

Yeah no doubt about it. I´ll ship it back tomorrow and ask for the XL, if that one isnt fitting neither i rather try another brand or just ask for the money back and wait until i can try some one in another place.

thanks anyways
