Tips on fitting wetsuits

Wetsuits are a tight fit- not too tight, of course. If it's too small to even put them on, then it's too small. Most wetsuit sizes are very similar to the sizing of T-shirts- if you normally wear a L T-shirt, then a L size will fit you.

Thickness recommendation:

2-3mm: Beginner canyons in warm summer day, eg. Empress, Gobsmacker, Grand
3-4mm: All canyons in warm summer day
4-5mm: All canyons in cold days or shoulder season

Some people get colder than others, and the info above is a conservative recommendation. You can get away with thinner wetsuit if you tend to stay really warm or overheat yourself, but you should go with something thicker if you tend to get cold in canyons.
