Hey, can someone recommend where I can order a custom wetsuit? I cannot find wetsuits that fit me, so I have decided to try and get one custom fit. I assume they don't have to be nearby so long as they get my measurements right. Any recommendations are appreciated... thanks! |

Promotion in Hood River will. Best suits around, by the way.
"wetsuit.com" |

Hi again - actually I already tried Promotion and I guess they don't make custom suits anymore. They said they only 'tailor' existing suits to make them fit better - in some cases. I am a 6'0" woman and very thin and leggy, and they closest they could fit my length was a voluminous size 14! Yikes! That's not wetsuit 'tailoring', that's a total overhaul! Right now I buy men's wetsuits to get reasonable leg length, but men tend to have longer wider torsos and shorter legs by comparison, so the fit for me is a bit odd to say the least... grumble, grumble. I'm hoping to find someone who will make a wetsuit totally customized to my size *help!* |

Try O'Neill Psycho I or II, Size LT
I tried it and was sold on the spot - it is SO stretchy, it practically sticks to me.
It might not wrap you as tight as me but could be a good option nevertheless.
Stay warm. |

I just checked it out - the psycho looks like a great wetsuit. Thanks. Problem is I am 40lbs too thin for the women's 6'0" version, and about 60 lbs too thin for the men's version. Argh. If I go on an ice cream and milkshake diet for about the next six months maybe it'll fit, but then I'll get on my board and sink up to my eyeballs |

There are two places down here that offer customs, Boz & Surf N Sea:
http://www.bozwetsuits.com/women.htm
http://www.insiderpages.com/b/3711360497
I think they both specialize in more surf-oriented suits, but it's worth a try. I had a female friend that bought a custom Boz a couple of years ago & loved it & have heard great things from guys that have bought Surf N Seas. |

If you are really interested in a custon suit, why not checkout Snugg Wetsuits in the UK.
A recent thread on UK site has nothing but rave reviews.

They will make you a fully custom suit and they are very durable. You can have it made anyway you want . The cost is comparable to a top of the line non custom O-Neil Suit. |
