Xcel Infiniti X-Zip 5/4/3mm Mens Wetsuit - New 2013 Model!

When selecting your wetsuit size it is important to take the time to measure yourself. To take your body measurements, you will need a flexible tape measure that you can wrap around your body parts. You can find these tapes at tailor shops, clothes shops and sporting goods stores. As an alternative you can also use a piece of rope, string or fishing line along with a yard stick to measure the length.

The tape should be pulled to where it is lying flat against the skin all the way around. The tape should not be pulled too tight but it also should not be too loose.

Neck - Standing, measure your neck at its largest girth, right over the Adam's apple.

Chest - Standing, measure with breath out just above the nipple.

Waist - Standing, measure at the narrowest point or at the midway point between the top of the hip bone and the bottom of the rib cage.

Hips - Measure at the largest girth, where the butt is protruding the greatest.

What is the most important factor in determining wetsuit size?
Unfortunately there is no easy answer to this question. The more measurements fall within a recommended size, the better! We tend to look at height, weight and chest primarily when recommending sizes. However, the material (stretch) and thickness (mm) also are a factor.

What does the "s" and "t" stand for in sizes MS, MT, LS, LT, ect.?
The "s" stands for "short" and the "t" stands for "tall". These sizes are meant for individuals who are shorter or taller than average. The suits will be shorter or longer in the torso, legs and arms.

I wear a MS in O'Neill, will a MS in Body Glove fit the same?
Not necessarily. Every wetsuit manufacturer cuts their suits differently and they each have a unique size chart. The size you wear in another brand may be used as a guideline but you should always look at the size chart for the specific brand you are purchasing before making a sizing decision.

I am in between sizes, should I go up or down in size?
Again, there is no absolute answer to this question. In general, you want your wetsuit to be a snug fit as opposed to being loose. The stretch and thickness of the suit will play a role in determining whether to go up or down in size.
