Subject: wetsuit ?
Do wetsuits tend to generally run around the same size for weight/height? Thinking of ordering an xterra long sleeve one (This looks like an excellent wetsuit at a great deal), but am going shopping for one next friday. Just trying to get advise on this from my BT friends as I have never bought one before!

Wetsuits tend to be all over the map. Use the specific maker's sizing chart to figure out which you need for each suit.

Xterra is an excellent deal and are probably the most popular wetsuits out there. Probably due to their frequent 40% and 50% sales. They also will work with you to figure out what size you need and will exchange it if it doesn't fit right.

When you go shopping, ask if you get a swim in it to decide if you want to keep the one you're looking at. If they do not let you do that, do not buy from that store. These things are very fit specific. Some fit a longer body better, some shorter, etc.
