    • Runs small, great value for the price
Size: X-Large Color: Black/Bue
I am 6'0" and 210 lbs with an athletic build from cross training. An XL should fit, but I couldn't zip it up. Went with XXL, first perfectly

    • Well made, perfect thickness....I wish it fit.
Size: Large Color: Black/Bue
This may well be a five start suit. Everything about it was just what I was looking for in a thinner suit - flat seams, solid sippers, uniform thickness, re-inforced knees, long line zipper pull and respected name with tastefull logo. That said, I am 34/36 in jeans and a 48L in coats. So I understood the legs would be a bit short wearing the "Large" but the chest was supposed to go to 52 based on the chart. I fit just like I wanted in the bottom half but no amount of wriggling, hoping, and hope was going to get me into the top half. I was just way to small in the chest/shoulders and arms. I hesitate to guess bet trying to get into made me feel like the top was no larger than a Medium and on the small side of that. I wanted to exchange but there was no option so I will send it back sadly. ... show more

    • Nicely constructed warm water suit
Size: Large Color: Black/Bue
Bought to use on warmer water dives up to 130 feet. The suit is built solidly, warm, and looks nice.

    • From Snorkeling to Diving: A Durable, Comfortable, and Stylish Wetsuit
Size: X-Large Color: Black/Bue
I was excited to get my hands on the Cressi Balam 2.5mm Neoprene Wetsuit. It arrived well-packaged, and right away, I was impressed by the quality of the materials. The double-lined neoprene feels sturdy and smooth, and the color combination of black with blue seams is sleek and stylish. The suit fit perfectly – the XL size determined from the sizing chart was spot on. The pre-shaped design hugs your body without feeling constricting, and the strategically placed flex areas allow for a full range of motion. The Velcro neck closure ensures a tight seal, and the strong YKK zipper with under zip lining and a water-stop system minimizes water ingress, making it easy to don and doff the suit. I haven't been able to take it out yet, but I have a trip planned in the next few months. Comparing it to my other suits that have been all over the Pacific Northwest, I have no doubt it will perform flawlessly. The 2.5mm thickness is going to be perfect for temperate waters while still allowing more freedom of movement than thicker suits (yes, I tried it on and wore it around a bit). I believe I have found a happy medium. The X-DIAMOND Pad reinforcement at the shoulders, waist, and calves provides extra protection, and the anti-abrasion knee reinforcements are a welcome addition for anyone who likes to explore rocky areas or avoid stinging sea life. Overall, this wetsuit is excellent. It's well-made, fits like a comfortable second skin, and offers great protection and warmth when things start cooling down. The price is reasonable for the quality you get, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable wetsuit for diving or snorkeling in temperate waters. --- Product: Cressi 2.5 mm Neoprene Wetsuit for Scuba Diving and Snorkeling in Temperate Waters - Balam Man - Designed in Italy (X-Large, Black/Blue) ASIN: B0DDMM4DQJ ... show more

    • Very well made....just too tight
Size: Large Color: Black/Bue
Review Image by T West
I have another wetsuit (Body Glove) that has been my go-to wetsuit for scuba diving over the years. I like the Cressi brand and actually have other products from them. I will concede that their products are well designed and constructed. While this one is no different, it doesn't fit me. I reviewed the size chart and based on my weight, I should be wearing size L. I went back to the ad after I tried it on just to make sure I didn't make a mistake and I couldn't find the size chart...but it did come with a size card that also includes waist and chest sizing. Based on that info, I probably should have ordered XL. The upper torso was especially tight. With quite a bit of force, my wife was able zip up the back but I could barely breathe. I really like the design and the thickness and this would have worked well for me if there was more room in the torso. I am 5 9", 185 lbs, 34 waist... as it stands, I can't use it. ... show more

This is my 16yo son's first full wetsuit and I'm so glad it's a good one! He's very thin and the size small is a little loose on him, but it fits well enough that I feel like he'll be able to wear it for years as he grows and fills out. The suit is very well manufactured and designed. All of the hem bedges are fully finished, the zipper leash is long enough that he can zip and unzip it himself, the zipper glides like butter, and the weight of the neoprene is perfect for our active Florida lifestyle that bounces between beaches and spring fed rivers. On the back there's a velcro tab to cover the zipper pull as well as a velcro closure for the neck. My son is 5'8" and weighs about 115 pounds. The arms and legs are just the right length for him, so I'd say the seller's sizing chart is pretty spot on. This is definitely worth every penny of the $180 cost to keep my son protected and now I'm thinking my older son should have one as well. ... show more

    • Snug fit, good quality
Size: Medium Color: Black/Bue
As a 5'8" slim-medium build with little body fat, this is a snug fit with the medium. I believe the large may have been too large since it fell between their chart. Though I am not well versed in body suits, the quality is very good in my opinion. This will come in handy with my upcoming island trip. ... show more

    • High quality, thin wetsuit
Size: Medium Color: Black/Bue
This is a great 2.5mm wet suit. Obviously being 2.5mm, it's very much on the thin side, which makes it suitable for water around 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit. I find the 2.5mm wetsuit more comfortable and easier to get on and off than thicker wetsuits, but you certainly do notice less warming. That said, it really does make a big difference and does a great job keeping the chill off in relatively cool but not cold water. The wet suit is well made, feels durable, and looks great. It definitely matches the genuine Cressi quality that I've come to expect, and would very much recommend it for anyone looking for a thin wetsuit. But do be aware that this wet suit is not insulating enough for water below 60 degrees. ... show more
