Review on NeoSport Wetsuits Sports Skins X Small by Steven Adams

Revainrating 5 out of 5

5'11/6'0 ", 178 lbs, athletic build, X-Large is good

I'm 5'11 maybe 6" if my posture is good, weighs about 178 pounds, shows some clarity. With a sewing tape I have a 33" waist, 40" chest under my arms, X-Large fits me. I hesitated between Large and X-Large, Large would definitely be too small. X-Large fits me pretty tight. It's form fitting but not uncomfortable, it doesn't "open" (if you're wearing swim trunks underneath) and still allows some room (meaning I can fully extend my arms, bend forward, flip, flip comfortably). and no worries about seam breakage). It doesn't cut into my back, no wedges etc. It doesn't strain my neck or shoulders, I don't feel tense, but of course you can see every contour of my body; I caught myself sucking my belly a little. If I were an inch taller now (6ft 1in) I would definitely go for the XX-Large. It's well made, very soft, thin as a t-shirt, I appreciate the plastic zipper that doesn't corrode the salt water, and the thumb loops hidden in the sleeves prevent the sleeves from riding up when you take off other gear or the Hope wetsuit helps.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
