Any thoughts on sizing? I am 5'11", 150 pounds, waist 32", chest 40"--I was thinking a size 26. The local distributor only stocks the Point Zero but will be contacting the company Monday. They may try to have a few sizes shipped.
  • For ladies - I just ordered a W24 and W26 to try. Will report back. I tried to google for any coupons, but couldn't find any for the nero. I didn't look too hard.
  • Michelle, to help the ladies here, your proportions are? I'm 6" 3 & 3/4" 215ish wore a 32 and want to try a 30, David Guthrie is 6'2" 205ish and wore at 30 at Sr Cir Sizing Chart Blue Seventy Nero Comp swim outlet now carries blue seventy Mens Full Body and Womens Full body I have a feeling many swimmers are going to try them out at Trials article www.swimnetwork.com/.../the_fastest_suit_you_ve_never_heard_of-12877.html For ladies - I just ordered a W24 and W26 to try.

    FWIW, I am 6'2", 190lbs, 32 inch waist, 43 inch chest. I was able to squeeeeeze into a size 30 Nero Comp.

    I am 6-5 and 190 and tried a 28 at the JEI meet based on Roque Santos -- it was tight but ok in terms of size. So you can size down quite a bit.

    When making a decision on the correct size, what is the most important specification to be taken into account? Gull, according to your height, you should be wearing a size 28. But a size 28 specifies a 37" chest, a 29" waist and a body mass of 170 lbs. You have a 40" chest, a 32" waist and weigh 150 lbs. Is height the most important spec? Am interested to know what size you choose.

    Have just seen Hoch's post. If, at 6'5" and 190 lbs, he can fit into a 28, then I am guessing that Gull you should be going for, at the biggest, a 26.
  • I tried on the blueseventy pointzero3+s over the weekend. I'm 6'0", 165, 32"-33" waist and I fit into the "SM" even though according to their size charts, the best fit would be the "M". I'm really not sure what to do. The SM might be slightly too small but he M seems a little loose... The sales rep said I was about a "90% fit". Do I want to spend $300 on a suit that only 90% fits? I'm guessing part of my problem is that my body type doesn't really fit into the size patterns they are using. The nero sizing looks even more crazy. The Size 28 requires you to be between 5'10" and 6'4", have a 29 inch waist, a svelte 37" chest and weigh between 180 and 205. Who fits that mold?

Michelle: I'm smaller and shorter than you (although not maybe in the chest. I must have a bigger back. lol) and a W24 seemed to be the right size for me. I'm a 26 in the Pro. It was a battle extraordinaire to get in the nero comp the first time. After about a 20-25 minute struggle, I won. :weightlifter: It was much easier the next 2 times. Still, I can't imagine getting into a 22. The nero seems to run narrower than the Pro. Thankfully, it is much less fragile. I never considered buying or pre-ordering the LZR because of its fragility and my frequent Pro rips. I'm really glad. Only a few swims to judge so far, but I think it's a better suit for me. One downside: it doesn't dry off like the Pro! Mine was still somewhat wet for my second event.
