I need help! I am a very good swimmer so I do not mind feeling snug in a suit. However, I've never worn a wetsuit or tries some on, Want to take advantage of the xterra sale that is on until Friday. I am 5'2" and 150pounds. Expect to go down to 135-140 by spring. Should I order a women's medium or large? According to sizing chart 135 is medium but anything bigger is a large. Debating which one I should get! afraid it might be too snug for a medium...any idea anyone? BTW, I tend to feel VERY uncomfortable if it is too snug around the neck. Cannot stand it, fell like I'm going to choke! Also, I have quite a large chest!Sorry if you have read this in another thread but wanted to make sure I would reach as many people as possible to make an enlightened decision...Thank you! Confused beginner

Get the large. The wetsuit won't do you much good if you can't wear it.
At 150 lbs you should be wearing a large size. even at 135 you are still borderline.
The good news is that Xterra offers a 30-day size exchange guarante.

Email them if you're not sure with your weight, height and measurements.  That's what I did because I wanted to be sure.  (I was having it shipped to a friend in the US and wouldn't get it within the 30-day exchange period.)

They are VERY helpful and will get back to you right away.

Just to let you know: I come from a swimming background.  I bought a medium and I'm 5'7" and weighed 132 during tri season.  I am not very curvy and it is snug on me.   I don't find it restrictive around the neck - and that would bother me as well.

Thanks to the both of you, I followed your advice, emailed them, eventually got a large under their advice, it got in last Friday, only paid an extra 13$ for duty and it fits like a glove! So excited! Thank you!

Yay! They are WONDERFUL to deal with.  I put a nail through mine the first week I had it - they were immediate in their reply and explained how to fix it. 

I'm buying a full sleeve from them in the next 6 months.  (Probably an xmas present...)
