I'm sure there have been plenty of threads on this before, so sorry for starting a new thread. anyways, I have a sizing question. I am 5'10 195. I am thinking of either a 28 or 30. I am much bulkier in my upper body and in the chest area. What size would you suggest?

    While people are guessing sizes, how about this... I'm 5'9" and 225. I fit decently into a TYR Tracer Light size 38. Do you think they make a B70 I could get into? I'm pretty sure I would destroy one, but I'd like to hear from another fair sized dude who has done this experiment himself. I hope you realize that you'll be able to wear the existing B70 for just 8 months in competition (the remainder of 2009). Most do not believe the current B70 will pass the 50% permeability test that is required in January 2010. The current B70 suit has far more than 50% of its surface coated in the rubber-like material. Have you seen this yet? scaq.blogspot.com/.../this-is-huge-blueseventy-to-offer-200.html In theory if the swim skins are deemed illegal, suits purchased after 1APR09 are going to be eligible for $200 towards a legal B70 suit. It hasn't been officially announced but the source of the story is pretty solid.
