Mforti Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Hi all,I have a surfing wetsuit and I'm currently looking at semi-dry, jackets and splashes to mitigate wind-chill and evaporative cooling. I'm trolling close-out sales, auctions, etc looking for deals so try-before-buy is generally out of the question. I should also mention that I have reservations about fitting or handling an item from a local retailer and then buying somewhere else. Can anyone offer advice regarding sizing for Kokakat tops? I'm 6',180-185lbs,42" chest, 35" waist, 16" neck and 34" sleeves. Their sizing chart indicates a medium give or take and 5-10lbs on weight and an inch on the waist but I'm unsure as to whether the tops generally run large, small or spot-on? The Endurance top from NRS looks like a contender as well. If anyone has any experience with that particular top, I'd like to hear about it. I'm really open to any suggestions/recommendations. Thanks you,Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mforti Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 Update: Kokatat customer service advised sizing up to a Large so it looks like that's settled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateHanson Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I'm your size, and I wear Kokatat size Large. Large would be perfect for me if everything were about an inch longer (torsos, and sleeves), but I've never custom ordered because the regular Large is close enough. I tried XL once, and the length is nice, but everything's too baggy, and the neoprene arm gaskets are too loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
