Wetsuit for a tall slim guy

Probably not Xterra. I am 6'3", 180 and bought a large Vector 3. I was borderline medium-large vs large sizing. I got the large but now wish I had considered medium-large as it seems a little loose in some places. Regarding length, at my height the legs stop several inches above my ankle and the arms stop 2-3" above my wrists. In other words, you can't cover your watch with the sleeves. I think some people prefer to do that to prevent buttons being pushed accidentally and also to assist with wetsuit removal.

I've also read suggestions to trim the legs a little on wetsuits to make it easier to remove. If I did that, the suit would stop at my calves.

I am also 6 foot 7 and find buying tri gear a bit of a challenge. However, there is hope. My current wetsuits are made by De Soto, Zoot and Neo Sport. I think the De Soto T1 will serve you best. Give them a call or email and they will give you some advice on what will work for you. If you choose not to do that use the size charts and pick a suit based upon your weight. When in doubt go smaller. The suit is supposed to feel tight.

Sent another to DeSoto..l am 6'6" at 190 lbs and they fit me perfectly

Thanks for the point in the right direction my fellow mutants . Really appreciate your knowledge and experience.
