Well things are looking great for the Group buy. So far we have 5 suits spoken for and a few more on the fence. Anyone else want to jump in on the deal?

Followed the link, but the sizing info only says S to XXL. When I bought my NRS wetsuit, their sizing chart had, if you are this tall and weght so much then you should buy this size. At 6' 3" 230# I was an XXL. what size would I need for the dry suit?

Click the "SIZING" tab.  All the info you seek is there!

I'm 6'1 or 6'2 and 230 right now and the XL fits perfect with a lot of room. 
I'm not sure on my height, last doctor visit had me at 6"3 so figure probably I'm 6'2"

If you are around MoCo at all, you can try mine on for fit.

Not sure about that.  I'm 6'3" and 225#.  I fit an XL in Kokatat.  Actually, I fit an XL that I had the inseam custom extended an extra 2 inches.  I only knew I wanted that after trying one on and sitting down in it.  I would advise to go to a shop and try it on if you are one of "between sizes" people.

BTW, I check the "SIZING" tab.  It didn't have the  XXL+ measurements in the "SAE" subtab.  Gonna have to tell Kokatat about that.  It did have them in the "METRIC" subtab, but you have to convert.

Thanks for the help guys. Its so hard to tell without trying on the suit. Every Body is different. If your even in the Lodi area you are welcome to try on one of our test suits. Otherwise we can do the XL and swap it out if its to snug. I agree with Pole Pole, measure yourself and check the sizing chart. Thanks guys!

How well do the tropos 3 breathe compared to gore-tex?  I'm interested, but I need to try a suit on.  I'm right in between a med. and large.

Never owned a dry suit before, but wouldn't it be worth it to get the gortex???? If ordered would they get here by GMS6??

Hey Dan, I'm in! Make mine a small in mango. The wife will contact you by phone (it's a b-day present  :smt008).
Hmmm, that begs the question - how long will this take?
Thanks for working this out for us :smt003.
