Reviewed by supafreeza from Los Angeles on Monday, September 26, 2011This is an awesome wetsuit. I'm glad I lost my previous one during a move. It's definitely more bouyant and makes me faster than my previous profile design wetsuit. This thing is durable and very, very well designed and manufactured. Orca is top notch. I'm 5'4", 148 lbs, and chest about 37". I went with size 5 and it's a bit tight. However, I'm used to the tight feeling of wetsuits so after a few minutes in the water, it feels natural. If I lost 3-4 lbs, I should be able to slip into it more easily. I easily swim 1-1.5 miles in this.

Reviewed by runningwithdogs from ct on Wednesday, February 16, 2011bought this wetsuit for a triathlon, size MT was way too small, I'm 5'11, 160 pounds, should fit in it easily according to orca size chart, it's snug to the point that after short while I have problem breathing. Size up. Other than that looks like it's very well constructed, seams are glued and stitched, very solid piece and incredibly buoyant, super fast

Reviewed by techrunner from Long Island, NY on Friday, January 28, 2011Long time Triathlete - saw this as a steal, even though a discontinued model. My weight and height are clearly under the guidelines for the size purchased - 5'9", 160lbs. Putting this on was a HUGE struggle, even with Body Glide - I needed assistance.. Brought it to a race and the second time I tried it on, it ripped down the seem..Never got it wet. Sierra very good about the return, as always, but can't recommend this Wetsuit.

Question “Hi,||I am 5'4', chest 36.5", 140 Lbs, and broad shoulders. Do I fit size 6 or size 5 base on your experience?||Thanks.”
-
Answer I would measure your chest to get a better idea of fit, and compare to the chart. You could fit into a size 6 and that would give you a little more room for your shoulders, but it may be a little loose elsewhere.
