Would this be a good suit for a first timer?

I have used this suit for my first 4 triathlons (spanning 3 years), and for training for them (in open water). I've used it in the summer in lakes in inland Michigan and Illinois, in Lake Michigan, and in the ocean in northern California. I find I'd want sleeves for water colder than 60 deg. F, and may buy another suit. It has held up very well (no issues with suit, zippers, etc.).

Are you kidding me? This is the best suit.. great price.. quick shipping.. after almost a month the collar started to get weird.. I wrote the company and they just shipped another one.. they didn't want me to review them bad.. I'm convinced..they rock.. so then I had 2 suits.. i shipped the other back and even before they received it I had my cash return.. awesome experience.. I've had mine well over a year and its still great.. ocean.. pool.. freshwater.. still great

From my perspective...yes, I have worn many different wet suits in the past but I've never worn one for a tri. I love it. I like to have the freedom of arm movement and it's really rather boyant. I'm 5'8" at 160 lbs and I am an intermediate swimmer. It helped tremendously with my confidence during the open water swim. Hope that this helps.

The suit if very durable, I have washed it several times after working out and it is like new. I had it now for about 8 months and I work out at least 3 times a week in it. It is definitely worth the money.

It would be hard to know for sure but I would suggest a small at the very least the vest should fit snug when all strapped in. It would be best to trial fit some at a store first for proper sizing

Yes it should fit you but if you are in an area where it is cool and want to wear a sweatshirt or a jacket you may want to get the medium size vest so you have room to move in it. I hope this helps you and have fun fishing.

The suit needs to fit VERY tight! It may even take almost 10 minutes to put on! When the suit is on pull on the shoulder straps and they should not go higher than the persons ears:)

I would say yes, go ahead and wear it with a suit, except that the belt is made with recycled bicycle tubes and the makers put the lettering indicating the tire size that comes on a tube right in the front. It would be a little kitsch for most suits. If you're wearing it to your job a Google, it would fit right in. If you want to wear it to a traditional office or a wedding, probably not.

These suits tend to be small and it doesn't matter if the legs or arms are too long. I would get a large.they are great about returns if that doesn't work

I can only suggest using the sizing chart. You might have some extra room in chest area but the suit fits pretty well to size. I purchased small and I'm 5'8 and 135 pounds

I would get the large , suit fits bit snug, you don't want to be to uncomfortable in your movements. I purchased a 2x and am 6'3" 240lbs, Body builder frame , I needed a 3x couldn't maneuver in the water and my girlfriend had to pull the suit off my shoulders, I couldn't take the 2x off or put on by myself. !!!!!

I bought this model for my wife how is 4'11" and around 106 lbs. It seems to fit her well. Best bet is to go to a dive shop and try on their suits. You may have to result to trial and error.

The xl is huge, you will have ton of room. Also, you can wear it like a backpack so it will be more convenient if you're going to be moving around a lot. If you're going to stay in one place a suit case might keep you more organized but I haven't seen many suit cases that match the size.

probably but I found the Frabil suit to be lighter than I wanted. Had to wear extra layers with it to stay warm. sold it and bought a Celcius brand

I'm 5'9 and 154lbs the medium is perfect, meaning if I was a bit taller or heavier it would be too tight..I think you should go for a bigger size, just take in mind that the suit should be tight, otherwise you'll get cold washes more often.

Yes, I would say so. It's for an adult, not a child, so unless you have a huge head, this should fit fine.

I think I would put you in a large tall. At 90kg, I think the medium tall may be uncomfortable if you wear insulation underneath. Good Lick, great suit!

Im 5'9 and 240lbs and my Large Short (LS) fits me like a glove. Im no expert, but I think a Medium Tall (MT) would be best suited for you. I would prolly suggest going to a board shop and trying on a few suits then ordering the one you want. Just be mindful that different manufacturers have different sizing specifications, but the Oneill Epic is such a hot seller, most shops have them in stock.

I use it for surfing only, good suit at a good value. Size may run on the small side.
