Which Shortie?
Hi, BIG CHRIS here, new member. I'm a Tall guy, (6' 5" ) 48 chest, not fat. I can't find a shortie to fit for when I go to Sharm in September. I've tried loads on but some one recomended the Ralf Tech range. Has anybody got one, or is anybody as big as me. Please help, very frustrated. Cheers.

Chris

Hi Big Chris, looking at your stats, won't a normal wet suit be a shortie on you!! Have you tried Cressi? Or Beaver? Can't you tell in from Huddersfield!

Try giving Huddersfield Dive Centre a ring, 01484 518528, Colin maybe able to sort you out with a Beaver one. I know they have taken people to the Beaver warehouse and let them try on quite a few in the past. If you do, tell him I told you and he will double the price!!!

I have the opposite problem - I'm short and fat.

Beaver have many sizes off the peg and I've always been able to find one to fit.

I got my Beaver shortie at the dive show for £45.

Don't Northern Diver (and others I am sure) make suits 'made to measure.'

Suits you sir!

Where abouts in the country are you ? I couldn't tell from your profile. I also have problems getting wetsuits to fit, so this year I am going to have one made at a company called Gybe which is in Stalybridge about 10 miles from Manchester.

However Beaver do alot of sizes, I picked up a brochure on Saturday. If you have a look at their website there should be a list of the various ones on there.

There is a Beaver size chart here, sorry it took too long to open http://www.beaversports.co.uk/catalo.../sizechart.htm

Blimey it opened XXXL - Fits 6'4" - 6'7", 46 - 48 chest
