Subject: 2XU tri suit sizing?

I am in the market for my first tri suit. The has some great prices for the next couple of days on 2XU suits but I am at a bit of a loss as to what size to get. I am 6'1" and about 175. I typically wear a L, but I tried on the 2XU Elite suit the other day in a store while out of town and it was way too tight. I have a friend that is almost my exact size and wears a L that is a couple years old, and it fits him perfectly. Anyone have any experience with a 2XY suit that you have bought fairly recently? If so, how does the size run? There isn't a store that sells tri stuff where I live, so I can't go try one on.

Thanks!

not sure about the full suits but i know their tops run a little small. i usually wear a small but with their compression top i have to wear a medium. and yes i know it is supposed to be fitted but the small is just ridiculous.

The tri tops do run small and snug. I am a bigger guy, and bought a XXL, and trying to get it off is worse than taking off a wetsuit

I'm 6'1, 182 and I wear a 2XU Comp Tri Suit in Medium. I broke it in after several times of use. In the beginning they fit more tight but getting a little bit loose after wearing it.

Every body style is different. Try several Tri Suits/Brands to see what fits best for you. Not every brand fits the same.

Don't know about their tri suits, but I find their tops run small.  I have a 46" chest and have to squeeze into a XXL.

I ended up getting the XL and it fits great. I have a long torso and shorter legs, so I think that led to me needing the bigger size.
