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.
I got a men's size 28 and think it's the right fit for me. I'm 6'0" and 189, with a 33" waist and 44" chest. Haven't tried it in water yet - that'll happen this weekend. It took me 6 minutes to put on, which some say is too short, but is just right for me. I hate to be too bound up, hate the feeling of straps digging in too tight on my traps, and need room to expand my lungs when swimming. This suit is still MUCH tighter than my FS1's, which admittedly were getting a little loose. Any tighter than this and I'm sure I'd have a hard time crouching down for a start.
I got a 28 as well, tried it on during Champs and I'm afraid any smaller and my voice would end up about two octives higher. I'm 6'0" and about 195/200 - about the same size as Jim M. I didn't wear it during Pacific's LC Champs as I was sicker'n a dog and didn't want to waste the experience. I'm saving it for SCM since I won't be in Gresham.
you should get a 32
unless you've lost 30 or 40 pounds from nats
I'm looking for advice from folks who have a) bought and worn a B70 and b) have met me and have an idea of my dimensions to judge.

Meanie! He has lost weight. Still, I'd go with a 32, Paul. Unless you really like having mega tight suits digging into your shoulders. I don't that much actually, so I didn't push the envelope on the height recs. Hope you can get one. I know B70 is sold out of many ladies' sizes at the moment.

there's a funny flocast video with Roque putting one on a swimmer in an elevator
Oh, and by the way I just got re-measured and my waist came out as 35", even though I wear all 33" waist pants and they aren't tight.
You and John are totally fair game for my comments about the Seinfeld episode on changing the size on your jeans...vanity run amuck with our WM...I love it!

Jim,
How was the suit? Where is it tight or loose? (legs, chest, waist, length?)
I'm 6'0", 33" waist but only 42" chest and 165lb and am considering a size 26 but am nervous of splitting it - it'll be a hassle to return/exchange it from up here, I'm sure.
Any comments from others more or less my size would be appreciated.
Ian.
