At last I have found a brand of wet-suit that actually fits me!!
I had heard nothing but praise for the fantastic Waterproof make of suits, especially for their multi-sizing system that they use. You don't just get a small, you can get a small for a big, medium or slim frame which really is great. However they don't cater for short folk like me! I think their shortest suits were for people 160 or even 170cm tall. I am a mere 155cm and not exactly hefty with it, so was gutted to discover that their suits were just totally not right for me.
So you can imagine my glee, joy and relief when I discovered Aqualung at Scubatec in Sharm. Now I do have a shortie that really fits well, and that also happens to be Aqualung, so I guess I am just the right shape for them. I have now got a lovely, fleecie lined 5.5mm full length Aqualung suit, and if you are of the 5foot 2inch height with the size 8 kind of frame, you too will be glad of this news. It is the most snug suit I have ever worn. The arms and legs are a tiny bit long, but the rest fits soooo well that is not a problem. So once again I am not blue with cold in the water, and can last out a little longer before I succumb to the lure of the drysuit for the winter proper.
Oh yes... and this new suit is actually shaped for a woman which is nice too.
