what brand wetsuit accomodates very broad shoulders?

Hey guys,

my hubby is doing is first tri in july. he hasn't been able to find a wetsuit that feels comfortable. he wants long sleeves because we might be moving to a much colder climate ( i.e Maine. ) he's 6 ft tall and about 210 lbs -with very broad shoulders, big chest and back. any suggestions?

thanks,

amy

Hi Amy,

I have the same problem.. I did find one that I liked from Quintana Roo... I would check them out...

yeah,
he tried some QR's on and they were still too tight. was there a specific model? we might have to just order on line because there aren't too many stores around here that carry swimming wetsuits.

I definitely don't have the tall or broad shoulders issues, but with QR I love the shoulder construction of their suits... it's a really stretchy black material (in the hydrofull and superfull, it looks like) that gave the most flexibility I found.

that's the one I have, as well as the short. The superfull works well for me.........

You might try the T1 by Desoto. It's a consists of a top and bottom - a bibjohn and a long sleeve pullover or sleeveless vest. You can mix and match different sizes to fit your body shape, i.e. - a bigger top to fit the shoulders and a smaller size to fit the bottom.
