Questions & Answers
I would suggest sizing down to a Small.
Hello, everything will be dry and protected from the water except your head and hands. It has no insulation, so you'll have to layer underneath it to stay warm.
I'm assuming you're deciding between sizes L and XL. I'm 6'3" and 210 pounds, and I ordered an XL, which fits perfectly. Cut through the torso with a relatively slim cut. Internal suspenders allow you to adjust the length, so I'd recommend XL; L may be too tight in the body. You'll probably want to cut a ring or two off the neck and wrist seals to make them more comfortable; simply follow the marks (neoprene is safer to cut than latex). I’m 16. 5 neck, and I believe I removed two rings from the neck, as well as the wrists. Cloth booties are large on any foot, but once they're in neoprene boots, they're much warmer than latex socks because they don't cut off circulation.
No, it's made for sailing, not for long periods of immersion. Neoprene cuffs and neck seals are a lot more comfortable than latex, but they're not meant for scuba diving.

I had to go back. It looked great, but the XL was far too big for my 6'2" 180lb son, who had 4" extra in his legs through booties (perhaps for 6'6"?). )br>I'll try to get the same thing in L.
This dry suit is of excellent quality! Shipping was very quick. I'm very pleased with it, and purchasing it here saved me over $100.
Our son enjoys it because it is adaptable.
