|
|
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

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 |
