Women's Wetsuit Size Chart
This suit runs small. Do not order your usual letter size. Sizes go up by bust, but hips grow only 1 inch per size. Measure first: most customers need 1–2 sizes larger than their clothing size. Slim cut: narrow hips, slim thighs, shorter leg.

- 1. Measure bust, hips and thigh over underwear, tape snug but not tight. Bust: fullest part. Hips: fullest part of hips and seat. Thigh: fullest part, one leg.
- 2. Pick the row by bust. If your bust is exactly on a boundary, take the larger size.
- 3. Check hips and thigh in that row. Both must be within the limits. If hips or thigh are over, go up one size. If over by more than one size, this suit will not fit; message us.
- Example: bust 37 in → row L. Hips 39 in → over the L limit (38.5) → take XL.
- A wetsuit must feel snug all over, tighter than clothes, but you must be able to breathe deeply and raise your arms. Legs are cut short: if you are taller than the reference height, expect the ankle above the ankle bone. Weight is a rough guide only.
- Between two sizes? Choose the larger one. Still unsure? Message us your bust, hips, thigh and height and we'll reply within 24 hours.
