Seems like I need to grow wider or get shorter or both...
What's cheap, Galt?
Maybe you should just spend a little bit more if you think that more
expensive wetsuits fit you better?
I'm definately not in the right size category for wetsuits (6'8"/220
lbs), but I've had good experiences with Langer as well as Prijon and
PeakUK wetsuits. The Langer wetsuit is probably around 6 years old now,
and my Prijon wetsuit should be around fiver years old. Both still fit
well and keep me nice and warm. My guess is that I paid around 120 US$
for the Langer wetsuit and probably around 150 US$ for the Prijon
wetsuit. Divided by those years, and the amount of river trips I've used
tham, that's a pretty good longer term investment.
