Love the DeSoto 2 piece wetsuits.  I'll never swim in anything else.   Click here for info and for sizing.  Size 4 pullover and size 5 bibjohn.   The pullover is full sleeve, the bibjohn comes down below the knee and covers about half of the calf.  Its not a full leg.  I swam the 2011 Boise 70.3 in 52-55 degree water (depending on who's race report you believe) in this suit and was fine in the cold.  I've just lost enough weight since I bought this 4 years ago that I'm ready to sell.  Worn in 1 sprint 2 olys and 2 HIMS with about a dozen other OWS.  Both are in great condition.  I believe this is a discontinued model from DeSoto. An absolutely fantastic entry level wetsuit.  I'm a big fan. $110 for the suit.

If you want to buy separately I'll sell the top for $60 and the bibjohn for $75.  Buyer pays shipping.

Thanks!

I looked at the DeSoto chart and it looks like the bibs would fit, but top may be too small.  Would you be willing to say what size you were when they both fit well?  I am 5'9" and about 185.  

Thanks,

Hey Mike.  I am 6 foot (6'1" on a good day) and I was 180 when I bought it.  Sorry, I don't remember my chest/waist/hips etc.  Raced it between weights 168 and 182.  Found last year when i did a 1.8 OWS at 168 that it was just too small.  I race at 158 now.  I find the chest waist hips are a better indicator of size.  For instance I borrowed a friend's desoto t1 for iroman cda and it was a size 3 top and 3 bottom and they fit superb. Those numbers fit me for the chest/waist/hips, but were out of my ranges (low) on the sizing chart for weight and height. FWIW.
