Hi Everyone. I am trying to decide between XL and XXL on a Supernova Paddling suit. I am 6'2" 225 pounds kind of average build.

Any input on experience with sizing would be great.

XL or maybe even L.  They run big.  I'm much bigger, and use an XL.

I think XL should fit you fine but it's best to try it on before buy.

You should be good with an XL. I'm 6'1", 195lb and the XL is pretty baggy on me. The L was juuuuust a tad bit too tight in the shoulders when I tried it on.

I am identical in height and weight.  XL will be perfect.

Yup, it's not a fashion show.  You want plenty of room to move around in as well as your various warm layers under there. 
Also, baggy helps in not tearing when it snags up on something.  A tight suit won't have the forgiveness to unbunch when you snag it on something.  A loose suit will have plenty of movement and you'll feel it long before it tightens up enough to have damage from a snag. 

You also won't have to worry when you 'grow' a little as you get older too.  Ha!  There are adjustments to cinch up and make it feel fine.

I am 6'4 and 235 and returned my 2xl for an XL. Fits great with plenty of room for the gerbils.
