Subject: Blueseventy wetsuits run small?

I am looking at purchasing several different wetsuits right now and live in a VERY rural area with no  stores nearby to try them on- so I need to rely on size charts and feedback from you all... Smile  I have read that Blueseventy wetsuits run small... i fall between two sizes-- M and ML.  I am only 5'3" and 137 lbs which makes me a size M...unless they run as small as everyone says that they do.  Any advice out there?

 

If it makes a difference I am looking at both the Axis and the Reaction.  if anyone has any thoughts on the two models i would appreciate that too.  The lower body buoyancy of the Axis intrigues me as a runner/biker with large quads.  THANKS!

Follow the size recommendations that the manufacturer lists. 

if you put it on and it feels like it fits.... it's too big.

you'll read plenty of review comments on wetsuits that say 'runs small, size up two sizes'.  My guess is that those users don't know how to install the suit on their bodies and/or don't know what a wetsuit should feel like.

Agreed. I ordered based on my height and weight and my suit fits well.

My Blue Seventy Fusion is perfecto in sizing exactly as I measured out.

Blueseventy does run true to size, but they are cut very narrow (i.e. for the skinnier athletes).
