she's kinda small at 5'1, size c, and 93lbs. We haven't been able to find much of a selection here locally or even one to try one so I don't know what size to order he online nor do I know of a good brand. I have O'neal and I like mine but girls suits could be different.

Any recommendations on good full size wet suit for girls? and maybe help me with sizing?

thanks

Bill

Oneill is the best for all wetsuits. I have the Hammer top in size 6, your gf should be a size 8. I am size a but 93 lbs, about the same height.

If you buy from that dealer, they're really helpful when deciding sizes and stuff, and even with exchanges if it doesnt fit well.

My first wetsuit (that I outgrew after many years of faithful wear in my teen years) was an O'Neill. Certainly a suit I'd recommend. The one I have now since I have developed a more prominent sexy hourglass figure with age is from a local company I had never heard of:
http://www.americanwave.com/

I found them online, bought my newest wetsuit(spring shorty), and it was only by coincidence they happen to located about 8 blocks from where I work. Met the owners at the winter ski swap at the fairgrounds last fall, and they're way cool people.

I have been pleased with the quality of my suit which has held up beautifully despite the abuse I put it through when dragging on the water and such. Seams are holding up wonderfully, etc. It's always just as warm as my old O'neill (same 2/3 mm neoprene thickness) but it's like a lighter weight neoprene with more mobility and not so stiff. All and all, I'm pleased, so there's another suggestion out there for you.

*PS O'Neal or O'Neill? I don't remember the spelling, so forgive me if I'm mistaken Embarassed
