    Hey all, I am looking for a used suit, preferably 1-piece.
    I am really confused with sizing, and dont want to waste anyones time at STG,
    knowing that i really dont want to have to buy brand new.
    I am 5'9", 200#, 35" waist.
    It seems that for most suit manufacturers,
    my waist size fits a 6' tall+ person,
    And my Height is comparable to a 150#, w/ a 32" waist.
    No wonder Blue Cross calls me obese...
    Wondering what is out there.
    I am located in S.E. Michigan.

    Thanks

    Sounds like a 54. I'm 5'10 200. That will fit and gives me enough room for a back and chest protector. Don't make the mistake I did and buy a suit that won't fit a back and/or chest protector...the moment you move up, you'll end up having to otherwise buy another suit because you can't get a back protector in it with you...

    Most vendors will swap out a suit size if it doesn't fit you as you expect. Just don't go out and roll around on the ground with it :)

    I'm thinking about selling my A* GP pro ... it's an older model and was crashed before. It's 46 but was modified by Alexa to fit me. It was perfect when I was 220 lb (i'm 5'11). It has a small hole on the ass (the soft material part). Let me know if you're interested.

    Hey Nick,

    I have a Hein Gericke Celtic in Silver that has the back protector built in. It's labeled a 46. 5'8" 204lbs, fit just fine. I can text you pics if you want. Sad thing is we are leaving for vacation on Sunday but coming back into Michigan the week of May 15th.
