I love my Orca Equip but when the zipper broke, I bought a 2014 Orca S5 (I think. Maybe S4) and it didn't quite fit just right for me. I have since repaired the old one, so I can make someone a great deal on the 2014 model. It is a size 7. I'm 5'10 and 170 lbs. I was right in the middle of the size range.

Send me a PM if you are interested.

ETA: It is a full sleeve wetsuit.

Also, it has been worn for 1 practice swim (750 yards) and for 1 sprint distance race (750 meter swim).

I've worn one for the last two years. I live in Florida and get to do quite a bit of Lake Swimming through the winter months. My take on it is that it is very restrictive around the arms. It looks really nice, but now all the seams are starting to separate. I've taken really good care of it, but I think the build quality is not quite there. I bought mine for the price and name recognition. I didn't get a chance to try before buy, as I bought my S4 online. They were having a "special sale" so I jumped on it.

despite the aforementioned broken zipper- I've found Orca wetsuits to be very solid.  No issues with my Sonar for the past 3 years.  not a single tear in it, and I'm not exactly nice to it on race day.
