Orca 3.8 Full Wetsuit - Triathlon Speedsuit (For Women)

Reviews said product ran small, which usually means it will fit me. So at such a great price I ordered the only size left, XS, and hoped for the best. The other reviews were correct. I am 5'2" and 105 lbs. I could barely get this wet suit on. And then I couldn't zip it up. Unfortunately it is going back.

The suit is wonderful if it fit. Super tight feeling like someone is pushing me down in the shoulders. Arms are super tight I am 5'4" and 106 lb I bought xs as according to the size chart. My weight was in the middle but it was for someone up to 5'2" or 5'3" It was about 3" too short. I have long legs for my size. I really wanted it to work it was really nice. I plan to do the Canada IM Aug 2012 need one there. Living in Hawaii I dont use one so I have a lot to learn on how to pick the right size & fit.

After reading some of the other reviews, I decided to order one size up. For reference, I am 5'9", 130lbs, chest33.5in and ordered a size medium. This wetsuit fits like a glove, even at the small of the back, where other models have gaped on me. It is a little short, but I'm hoping that when needed a pair of boots will make up the difference. As snug as it was, it was much easier to take off than I expected. My plan is to use it for lake swimming in fall/winter, so time will tell about how well it provides warmth. Overall pleased with this purchase.

Very small, don't believe the size chart.

No doubt all the reviews are correct about Orca sizing small. I went with the MT, and am 5'-9.75" and average around 155. It was tight when I tried it on, and it barely fits, though I'm closer to 160 (my winter fat weight). I'm hoping that it stretches a bit and that once I get in the water it will feel a bit more comfortable and expect it will once I get down to my in-shape 150 lbs. The arms in particular are tight. I have small arms and just standing around my hands were tingling a bit. Will probably be fine while swimming though. We'll see. It was a sweet deal though that I couldn't pass up since I'm planning on getting serious about tri's this year
