Dude are you sure.

My second hand Musto is a MB have a look at the sizing chart below.

It is baggy on me, although if i stand too straight it is a bit short, good job I slouch!

You dont want it flapping in the wind it may create a lot of drag and limit your top end when we go Sib racing!!

Been looking at the BS I'm so glad you said about try before you buy as I nearly parted with £260 today for an XL BS 2012...

Thanks for the offer AJ.
XC has just changed it's mind and now Sunday is looking fine and sunny, so we should be OK with our normal floatation suits.

I'll have to get myself a dry suit soon though for the Round Ireland trip in the Sea Rider .
