 34  Cary, North Carolina |  Subject: Wetsuits for us Big FellasI have a few races this year where I will need to use a wetsuit! I have never used one and I have a fear I won't be able to find one in my size without spending an arm and leg. I am about 5-11, 350 lbs. Any tips? |

Extreme Veteran 1332 | Subject: RE: Wetsuits for us Big Fellas I would call Xterra, they are from what I hear excellent about sizing advice, and they will know whether they can make it work. Search for a discount code, one I just used got me the Full Sleeve Vector Pro ( listed for $600 ) shipped for $179 |

| 27 | Subject: RE: Wetsuits for us Big Fellas I purchased a wetsuit on craigslist from a guy who constantly outgrew his wetsuits due to adipose accumulation through the years. The wetsuit was already stretched out for me and had no problem accomodating my voluptuous proportions. See if there are any fat guys who are trying to get rid of their old wetsuits. |

Extreme Veteran 565 Jenison , MI | Subject: RE: Wetsuits for us Big Fellas The last wetsuit I bought was a fit2race suit. I actually bought 2. A full sleeve and a sleeveless. I was 5' 10" @ 320 pounds. They worked great. I may be selling them soon. I had bariatric surgery 11 weeks ago and I am now 244. Shooting to be under 200 by the time the lakes here are open again. No way they will fit me then. |
