Dry Suit Fit

[John Ware]

Should it be more of a tailored fit? Or a little baggy?

[Michele Jackson]

Be sure to leave room for adding layers underneath. A little baggy isn't a bad thing in my opinion.

IMHO, baggy all the way. More flexibility for you, less stress for suit seams as you move and stretch, can puff with extra air for colder days, or squeeze air out for tighter fit on moderate or warm days.

Most all surface water suits are cut large to facilitate ease of movement. If you think you wear a large, don't order XL looking for more room. My large suite is about seven foot tall from the booties to the shoulder. I could wear a half dozen layers of insulation and still have room to move around unencumbered.
To me, my drysuit is the single most valuable tool of the sport I own. Well during the winter months anyway.

Good point. It's usually folks that are "in-between" sizes that need to spend some time thinking about this - if you are "middle" of the size charts, then go with the manufacturer's recommendation. For me, the charts put me at the top end of a "medium", and just barely under the low end of the range for a "large". But a large is what I wear, and it works great. When I slide into a medium, it fits, but I feel restricted.
