So my wife has been using a QR Superfull the last couple years. She tried on many brands and this was the best fit of the brands she tried. Not sure we want to go with QR again.
So my question is this: If QR was a good fit, what other brand is likely to be a good fit for her?
I'm guessing others out there have moved to or from QR from a different brand and could advise us a bit.
I realize it won't be the same. I'm just trying to decide where we need to go to try them on. Unfortunately there is no superstore that carries all the brands. (need a multi brand expo right about now).
I don't know your price
I don't know your price range, but I am a big, big fan of the De Soto two piece wetsuits. I will always tell anyone who will listen how much more comfortable my suit is than any other wetsuit I tried. And no, I do not work for them. I can not say with experience if the fit will match the QR wetsuit, but my guess is that since it is a two piece it will either match or exceed the comfort. They ship the wetsuits free as long as it is over $125 and you have 15 days to try it on and swim in it, if you don't like it for any reason you can send it back for a full refund. You would likely only be out the return shipping.
I am tall, 6'4" and being a two piece wetsuit the comfort is incredible. Most wetsuits are tight in the shoulders and the crotch. The other nice thing is you can mix and match the top and the bottom if you have to for body shape. Someone who is larger up top can compensate for that only up top and still have a good fitting suit.
I hear you. I've got the De
I hear you. I've got the De Soto for myself with both tops, sleeves and sleeveless. It's great. I've got the Black Pearl Bibjohn. I'd like to find a deal on the first wave bibjohn. I think it would be a good upgrade. Use the BP for the majority of my OWS training. Then switch to the first wave when race day approaches.
I'm also very happy with the durability of the De Soto. As you say, you have to order it to try it out. I should have her put it into the demo list.
