Hey

I just got a new orca suit for christmas ! I tried it on this afternoon and it seemed very tight across the shoulders. I am right on the middle of the MT range of sizes 6'3" 175lbs (prob 170 race weight). I was wondering if anyone has any experience with these suits and whether they stretch out alot in the water ?

merry christmas ! and thanks :)

I've worn 2 different types of Orcas (Predator 2 and PFlex), and they seem to fit best if you are on the lower end of the recommended weight range in your size. That said, they do relax a bit in water, and they also seem to "break in" a little after 3-4 swims. Of course, you cannot return them after that long to most stores, so here's hoping it works out for you.

I have a PFLEX as well and they do run very snug, as do most of Orca products.
