Will DUI stock XL size fit me?

I'm 6" 3 1/2" tall, weight 208lbs, have a 38" waist and size 12 shoes.
Will a stock XL size fit me? I'm mainly concerned about the height and
shoe size. I assume it will be a little baggy. Anybody out there my
size diving with a stock XL size DUI suit?

My local dive shop says I need a custom size (he hasn't measured me,
he said that over the phone). Those suits are already SO DANG
EXPENSIVE I just don't want to pay an additional $300 for a custom
size if I don't have to.

Thanks!

No.
I'm 6'2" 200lbs and it doesn't offer me the range of motion to reach
my valves easy enough.

Is yours a "special production" (custom fit) suit or a stock XL size?
Also, what model do you have?

Thanks

Yes and no. I'm about the same build and the torso is a touch too big
in the shoulders, but not bad. The legs/hips fit like they were
custom cut. It is a much better fit than my Typhoon XL.

My feet are 11-1/2 and very narrow... the socks fit, just okay. If
your size 12 feet are of "normal" width, the size 11 socks will
probably be too small... turbo soles would certainly be too small.
I ordered mine with rock boots and use my old size 12 wetsuit booties
with it so I can still use the XL Jetfins.

Double check your measurements... I've been wearing size 36 pants for
years, even as high as 220lbs, but even now at 205, my "by the book"
measurements are about 44-44-44. Ya... I wear my pants just a hair
low.


IF you go with a custom suit, what DUI will more than likely do is put
size 12 boots on XL pants and a L or ML torso. They don't actually do
true custom cuts until you get into the signature or cave-cut
series... they just take a stock "part" that most closely matches your
measurement and graft the suit together.
