According to all the sizing charts, I&amp;#39;m sized out of the women&amp;#39;s suits and need to order a men&amp;#39;s. I&amp;#39;m 6&amp;#39; and 173-175lb.

Although, some of the rental companies that are selling their used women&amp;#39;s blue seventy suits online recommend that they actually only fit up to about 5&amp;#39;7&amp;quot;. :P  Good to see it does fit at least a little taller.
Maybe I can make the drive tomorrow.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Mens vs. Womens Cut Wetsuits</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/272161?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 12 Jan 2016 06:26:49 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:c31f9fe5-dbb0-4fac-9029-b8ecaa4cb9aa</guid><dc:creator>Former Member</dc:creator><description>I&amp;#39;m a larger woman, 5&amp;#39;9 and 220.  When I bought my wetsuit (a blue seventy tri suit) I assumed that I would need men&amp;#39;s sizes based on the weights listed.  I was wrong. The men&amp;#39;s sizes were impossible to get over my hips and chest (I&amp;#39;ve got curves) and the women&amp;#39;s ones stretched to fit.  The really expensive ones I tried on (upwards of $400) fit best, but I wasn&amp;#39;t willing to spend that at the time. Instead I spent under $200 and got a women&amp;#39;s rental return from a local outfitter. If you have a curvy body, get the woman&amp;#39;s suit.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
