Orca Apex 2 Triathlon Wetsuit - Full Sleeve (For Men)

I did not use this wetsuit in the water but returned it and exchanged it right away for a larger size (that has not arrived yet). There is a discrepancy between the size chart online and the size chart in the literature that comes with the wetsuit. In the product literature, a size 9 is recommended for 185-193 pounds but online size chart shows 196-213 pounds! If you are in this range (size 7,8,9) I would definitely order a size up. Also, there is a lot of printed text and graphics on the wetsuit that looks as it it will wear off.... this does not bother me. Finally, the wetsuit looks well constructed, with many flexible panels and durable construction. I'll update after I get the larger size and try it out. Happy trails.

Orcas fit small. I am 6'0 159 lbs (right in the middle of height and weightfor size MT) but when I ordered that one, I couldn't even get the zipper to move. Sizing up a half size to size 7, I sacrificed an inch on the length, which I could have used as the suit let in a bit of water in the crotch, but as far as the weight, it fit great. Size 7 is supposed to be for mid 160's to 180, but probably more like 155-170, 5'9-5'11 for a perfect fit. The product itself is top quality at an unbeatable price.
