How to Measure Your Body

Waterproof Wetsuit Sizing

It's extremely important that you read and fully understand the following about the sizing of Waterproof wetsuits before ordering one.

Size really matters! Despite similarities in measurements or weight, every person's body is unique. The Waterproof size chart is a good starting point to estimate your size, but because a wetsuit should really fit like a second skin, you really need to take the time to get it right.

The neoprene materials used in Waterproof wetsuits are fantastic in performance and durability. However, they are not super-stretchy the way many other suits are these days. So Waterproof has a lot more sizes in order for people to fit into their suits, rather than relying on the suit material stretching to fit you.

While most wetsuit manufacturers have 4 to 6 sizes for the men's and women's suits in their range, Waterproof tend to have 10 to 20 sizes in each model for men and women. The goal is to get the wetsuit as close to possible to be like a second skin for as many divers as possible. With so many sizes, in so many models, it's extremely rare for dive shops to have everything in stock. Instead, we order wetsuits in from Waterproof as required, or have Waterproof ship the wetsuit direct to you on our behalf. Please keep this in mind when ordering.

Note: This item cannot be delivered outside of Australia.
