does anyone know of a trisuit that offers proper sizing for someone 6' and 219 lbs? it's like mine needs to be 2 inches taller in the straps and 3 inches broader in the chest

this is the one I have

Velocity II Tri Suit in Gunmetal color scheme

I just got an Xterra wetsuit, and I was afraid that as I lost weight, I would have to go from a 2XL down to an XL (I'm 6'4", and about 235 lbs). I spoke with a rep at Xterra, and they still suggested the 2XL. They have a good sizing warranty...once you rcv it you have 30 days to try it (swim in it), and if the fit isn't comfortable, you can return it for a different size. If you use the promotion code "BT" you can get like 60% off the price. I got the Vortex 3 for $129.

Anyway, good luck!
