Im 14 years old and have been looking into getting a Omer Mimetic Med 5mm but i am worried that although I might be tall enough to fit the wetsuit that i have a different build to the adults the wetsuit is designed for.

if anyone has any suggestions to other nice mimetic suits which might be better for me and are within the same price range id love to hear your thoughts, thanx :)
 
i want the wetsuit to last and im afraid that i will outgrow a custom fit very quickly, does the wetsuit have to be a perfect fit to be effective or will a wetsuit which is slightly to big be comepletely ineffective thanx
 
Look up diveskin as I believe they are the best value custom suits (the prices are in dollars but the company is in Grease)
Yes the better the fit the better the effect, a loose fitting suit will allow water to flush through the suit.
You might be ok with a surfing suit in Gibraltar though & these tend to be a lot cheaper to buy at the lower end. No hood but you could buy a separate hood...
