Good wet suits for wakeboarding?

[tbeck247]

Hi all. I was wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions for a good wetsuit for boating/wakeboarding. I've never used one so i'm completely clueless about them but last season i would get pretty cold so i'd like to do something about that. I'm 6'4, 275 lbs, so i know selection might be a problem. But the main things i'm looking for are durability and it not being too constrictive. Also with the sizing are wetsuit sizes standardizied between brands or are they all different? And if they are standard what size would i be looking at for my height and weight xxl? xxl? or maybe higher?

Thanks for the help

Re: Good wet suits for wakeboarding?

I would suggest looking on various websites that sell specific gear for wakebaording. I just popped into the Wakeside site and they have a few on there. Your best bet is calling in and taking to a rep about the gear.

As far as a full body wetsuit, from what I have seen, most are pretty generic in size. I have an OLD (From the mid 80's) Body Glove suit that I used to wear. Thing is still in excellent condition, but I just got to big for it (I dont weigh 130lbs anymore). But, they can definetly help you stay somewhat warmer. Your lower legs still get chilly.
