What size for Kokatat Hydrus Super Nova paddling suit?

Hey all,

I won the Kokatat paddling suit at GS8 and sent the XL back to Kokatat for a L. Tried on the large when I received it the other day and it seems pretty dang big still. I'm 5'7' but about 178 lbs(No, I do not have a pot belly ) guess I'm called an athletic build with a 44 chest. I know a bunch of you guys wear these suits and wondered if you all think the Medium would fit well(as in not too tight).The large is super long for me, and I have a major crotch sag thing going on. Any advice appreciated.

You may want to call them Shannon and let them know your exact measurements to be fitted right. I hear what you are saying about the zipper for the upper part.  They can help you I'm sure. Don't know if they will charge for customizing.
