Suit Sizing

WTH is up with these manufacturers and thier sizing 'charts'? For example, I'm looking at Speedo's site and the FS-Pro. Thier sizing only lists smallsmall longmediummed longlargelarge longx/l But yet thier pull down list has XS, L, LL, XL, XLL, XXL. Hmm........ Soooooo, not sure where XLL and XXL fit as there are no sizing recommendations listed. The XL ones listed look like they are good on the thigh, very tight on the waist and slightly tight on the chest so not sure if I should pursue an XLL or an XXL. My current measurements: Height: 6'3" Weight: 248 Chest (measured at nipple line): 47" Waist (measured at belly button): 41.5" Hips: 43" Inseam- leg (measured groin to ground): 37.5" Inseam- arm (measured middle of back to wrist): 32" If anyone is even close to those measurements and swims in an FS-Pro, I would love to get a sizing recommendation from you. Or even sizing recommendations for any of the approved TYR or Rocket Science suits. Hey, Paul S. do you swim in a Pro and if so what size are you wearing?

    Paul, I use an FS Pro high neck. I am 6'5" 215lbs. My measurements are smaller in the chest and waist, and longer in the legs...44, 34, 34 respectively. I have used an XL. Which was a good fit. Although, I felt it was a little loose in the chest because I was getting water in through the neck. So, I went with a LL and it was so tight the first couple of times I wore it I felt like it was going to explode. But after a few swims it really stretched out and got more comfortable. Hope this helps.
