Subject: 1-piece tri suit - any height concerns?

OK, newbie question here - I'm thinking about buying one of the BT 1-piece tri suits, but I have a question about fit.  Generally, how to the 1-piece suits account for differences in height, or is that not an issue?  I am 6'1', 225 pounds.  According to the sizing chart, I would take an XL.

Are there any guys out there who have this suit and are about my size?  If so, have you had any fitting issues?

Thanks!

Well, I am a female that is 6' tall, and I have no size issues with a female tri suits, so I would assume that a mans XL tri suit would fit you fine. Does that make sense?!? What I am trying to say is that women are usually not as tall as me, but they fit fine. More men are your size, so I think you will be ok.

Below is a men's/women's sizing chart for the Team Javelin trisuit made by Sugoi. It might give you a general idea, though I'm not sure how their sizing compares with the BT suit.  I've have two Team Javelin one piece suits and they definitely run small. I'm a puny 5' 11", 145 pounds, and I take a large.  It's comfortable, but snug. You might also shoot Ron a quick  e-mail and ask him directly.
