I am 5'11" and 180# with a 36" waist. I normally dive in 78-84 degree Caribbean water, but have also dove in some colder environments in my local area.

With respect to sizing I normally wear a large in about everything I purchase. Prior to my purchase of the EVO jumpsuit I almost ordered a large after looking at the EVO fitting chart, but I decided to purchase a medium instead..I'm very glad I did...medium fit me like a glove.

Initially I was astonished how easy this suit was to put on and remove. The term effortless comes to mind when compared to other full and shorty wet suits I have worn. I had no trouble putting it on and removing it several times during a 15 minute period when I was trying different configurations of my diving suits. Normally this changing of wetsuits would have taken easily 30 minutes to an hour and required someone to help me remove and/or put on (zipup) my various full body suits...this was not the case with this EVO jumpsuit.

As a comparison, my prior purchased suit was a Henderson 3mm shorty which I ordered in a large...the Henderson was slightly loose in the shoulders and has a tendency to move absorbed water from the shoulders to the groin after an extended dive. This medium 3mm EVO full jumpsuit fits better, absorbs less water and cost less than the Henderson shorty!

I like the EVO so much, I will most likely use it for most of my warm water diving in the future and use the shorty over the jumpsuit only when I dive in cold water.

Quality appears to be equal to my Henderson suits with the minor exception of the zipper pull...I would have liked to had a little stouter material used in the strap but time and use will be the judge of that. So far everything is working well.

I ordered a medium and it fits perfect. I'm 5'7" and 160 lbs. Zipper legs and super stretchy as well. Taking it to Georgetown Bahamas soon on a liv-a-board and it should be perfect for warm water dives.

This suit seems to fit loose when diving. It is very comfortable but runs a little big for the stated size. I seemed to always be a little cool wearing his suit while diving my last trip in Bonaire. My wife seemed just fine in a tighter fitting 1mm in the same conditions. My advise would be buy this suit one size smaller than you expect. I was kind of stuck with the purchase because I did not have an oppertunity to actually dive in the suit prior to the trip. The fit feels really good when it is dry but sloppy when it is wet. Other than the fit I would say it is a very nice we suite.
