Questions & Answers

Shopper : would this be suitable for a toughest mudder?LES S : Sure... whatever a toughest mudder is. I use mine for fall surfing in SoCal. I like it. Looks good and works well. Used it maybe 200 times now. Still good.Steven Kent K : I think it is very durable. The bigger problem is sizing. I am 6 3 230, and Ordered an XL or double XL, and it didn’t come close to fitting me.
Shopper : 5'11" 180 pounds--which size for me?WILLIAM G : I am 6 ft 115 lbs with 38 in waist. I purchased a 2.5mm Head Shorty 3XL for the Florida Keys. Please also check the size chart. You may need a Large which will fit a 33 in waist and 41 in chest. At 5ft 11 in I would not recommend any smaller size. My fit was very good and the suit functioned well in the Florida Keys. Bill GGuy P : I am 5'10", 165 lbs and I usually wear medium. Following the recommendations of other divers, I purchased a size "large" and it's a tight fit! The neoprene does not stretch as much as higher quality, more expensive shorty. If I were you, I would go for an extra large.Kevin P : Well, I can give you my experience: I'm 6'0, 190-ish, 42 inch chest, 33 inch waist, lean build. I ordered a Large, and it was pretty tight when I first tried it on. However, when I dove it, loved the skin tight fit. It was most tight around the arm and leg openings, but never had any issues with circulation being cutoff. Love it.
LES S : I'm 5'7"-5'8", weigh 165, 41 chest and 39 waist at the button, 21" thigh. I have a medium Bare Shorty that is too small. What size would you recommend? I'm thinking large.WILLIAM G : How small is the Med.? I would normally think Large also, BUT I was looking for a 2XX large since I felt like I had gained some weight. I have a Henderson X large. The Bare 2XX large was Smaller than my X large! So _ I would have to say that to fit you, you would probably need X large - Maybe even XX large!ROBERT E : I have the medium and I have a 34" waist, and it's about right. I'd recommend the large for you.DOUG A : I'm 6'2" and weigh 155lbs and own a size large, and it fits me snugly.
Shopper : what is the size measurements for a small?DON F : Their chart is not very good. I bought an XL. I am 6'1" and 240lbs. The XL was short and I couldn't zip it up. Im going back with an XXXL.Monica s : 5'4"-5'"8 139lbs-160lb Here is a link to their chart <a href="http://www.head.com/__static/catalogues/Size_chart_US_EN.PDF" target="_blank">http://www.head.com/__static/catalogues/Size_chart_US_EN.PDF</a>

Head 2.5 mil shorty

Used in the Bahamas last week. Worked as expected. Kept the chill down, but easy to put on. Sizes run at least 1 size small.

Great shorty wetsuit for the money.

Great shorty wetsuit for the money… way more stylish and flattering than appears, especially for larger build folks like myself. Wasn’t too stiff and had good stretch and 2.5MM warmth for Carribean diving in 79-80 degree water without getting too hot whilst on the surface in 85 degree sun. Quality zipper and comfortable neck guard. Head’s sizes run quite small (like all wetsuits seem to do)… but for a reference I normally wear XL for almost all of my clothing but for this I needed 3XL. My wife and kids ordered 2-3 sizes up (ie larger) as well and that guidance did well for them too.

Pretty not bad

It’s pretty not bad for the price, the zippier is a bit snug and the tether is kinda short.

Comfortable and good quality

Comfortable and good quality. I use it mainly for kayaking, but should be great for diving too (but only in warm waters).

Wet Suit

Originally purchased a Medium size which did not fit my grandson. When purchasing an item to wear on line, it's sometimes hard to get the right size. Leisure Pro took back the Medium, shipped me an Extra Small - at no additional cost!! I have purchased several items from Leisure Pro, and all items were quality at an excellent price.

Great Shorty wetsuit for diving in near 80°F water!

Excellent value with the fit as described in the size chart. Dove seven dives over two weeks on the Kona Coast of Hawaii and this wetsuit kept me comfortable.

Nice fit (for younger folk)

The wetsuit, itself, is very good. Slips on and off pretty easy. However, at 5'8", 245lbs and 61 years old, I'm short, fat, and old. So, I had to trim the neck collar in the front, and cut about 2 1/2 to 3 inches off the arms so it wouldn't cut off circulation (arms are fat too). And the zip cord in the back could be a little longer for someone like me, I'm like a dog chasing my tail (sorry if you pictured that). But, overall, if you're in have decent shape, it's a pretty nice shorty.

Nice, but runs way small

This is a nice and well made wetsuit. I would have been happy to keep it, but it ran way too small. Torso was a little short, and forget about even trying to zip it up. I got a 2X which is what all my other wetsuits are, and I'd say it was more like a large. The great folks at Leisure Pro were happy to exchange it for another brand XL, and that worked out fine.

Good quality suit

This was one of several wetsuits I considered after misplacing my old one. It was a great fit for me at 5'9" and 165 pounds. Has a very good range of motion in the shoulders. The neck closure was quite good. I returned it because my wife found my old wetsuit. That said, I'd certainly recommend this suit.

Delivers what is advertised

This shorty is all that is advertised and more. Although not mentioned, chest and back have same wind resistant material as one expects found in other suits. 2.5m seems perfect for warm water snorkeling. Cuts initial chill and then allows for longer duration. Lease is a bit on cheap side and not as sturdy as others and seems shorter. Otherwise simply a great suit for the money.
