wet suits...

lionrampant 07-21-2005, 6:00 PM

I am looking to buy a wet suit for when it gets a little big colder in the coming months, problem is I am 6'6". Does anyone know of a company that makes extra tall wet suits or any one have a similar problem that might have any suggestions?

I was thinking that maybe the bibs and jacket combo might give me the most adjustability?

thanks for any advice

I am 6'9" and love my drysuit. I could never go wet again. It's more money, but well worth it if you go in the cold water. I have the O'neill BOOST drysuit from Wakeside.com for $379. I have the XL and it literally fits from ankles to wrists with plenty of room for flexibility. I can also pack lots of clothes underneath if needed. Sometimes, I'll even put my life jacket on underneath.
