I am trying to size a DUI drysuit for a friend and it would be great to have some practical sizing experience from the board. He is 5'10" and 180 pounds with size 10 1/2 feet, 34 inch waist, and a lean medium sized build. He would probably be wearing a middle weight undergarment like a DUI Powerstretch under the suit. He is going to try and get me some more body measurements later tonight.
Looking at the DUI sizing chart: http://www.dui-online.com/pdf/size_chart.pdf, he seems to fit well with a large for the foot size, and height, though the chest and waist seem a bit big. He needs room for an undergarment, but it would be nice to avoid too much extra bagginess. Does anyone here in that size range have a DUI suit and what size did you end up going with? Not sure if the model matters, but we were looking at CF200 and FLX 50/50 suits.
Thanks,
Aaron

I am 5'11/175 and have a 32" waist and I fit a DUI TLS350 in Medium Tall well. I dive a Weezle extreme + under garment.

Blitz,
Great, thanks for the info . Sounds like a Medium would be right up his alley then, considering his shorter height and thinner undergarment.

Responding on behalf of Psundquist (who is assembling a grill right now and can't reply...because he won't leave for dinner until he finishes that project...and I'm starving ), he is almost identical to your friend's measurements (including shoe size) and he has a CF200X in size L and it fits him perfectly. He wears Fourth Element undergarments, or occasionally a Weezle.
Hope this info helps.

I have a CF 200 size large in rental. I have a couple of my staff who are pretty close to his build and that rental fits them perfectly.lizard0924 wrote: he is almost identical to your friend's measurements (including shoe size) and he has a CF200X in size L and it fits him perfectly.

Thanks everyone for all the great info, sounds like a medium or a large could work. Hopefully we will have him in a suit before long.
