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.

Ok, I'm curious. What wetsuit size fits 6'8" 220lbs?

Normal XL.

Ok, I'm a newbie, I'll have to look at the brands you mention. The size
charts I remember seem to top out at around 6' 3".
