Waterproof was the only brand that offered a complete set of measurements off-the-shelf? I am 6'1, 48" chest, 44" waist and 46" hips (a little bit of a gut), 30" neck-to-arm and 33" inseam, and everything matched the specified measurements perfectly for a L+ size. Cuffs come exactly to the end of my wrist and ankles with no wrinkles behind the knees and elbows. After trying and returning several other brands that just didn't fit right (usually 2XL was too small in the gut/shoulders and 3XL too long in the arms and legs), Waterproof was my last resort before I had to jump to a $1000+ custom wetsuit? and I couldn't ask for a better fitting off-the-rack wetsuit than the W8. It's also better constructed than anything else I have tried! Only negative is the front-zip was a little hard to get out of by myself, but I'm sure it will loosen up a bit after a few dives.

Bought from a local dive shop, but this suit is amazing. I'm 5'9", 170ish lbs, 32 inch waist, 42 inch chest. I have a long torso so am always between sizes. We have been borrowing every different suit to see what fits well. Of every size, brand, etc, that I have tried, this suit not only fits well, but immediately you can tell the quality. Gaskets at the hands and ankles, zippers at both, it just feels incredibly well made because it is. When I tried it on, our dive master commented that he wished he had ordered this (vs the back zip). You do get what you pay for from Waterproof. I can't imagine ever buying a different brand.
