Atlan sells a 4 XL 7 mm wetsuit (2 piece farmer john set up).

The Henderson Hyperstretch is comfortable for us 'larger' gents. When I started diving I was 5'6 and weighed around 220 pounds (down to 160 now). I found the Hyperstretch suit 'fit' nicely because it accommodated my larger areas without being too tight.

The only down side I found was the outer material seemed to be pulled up (pilling) when it came in contact with velcro. I am not sure if they have remedied this concern, although it was only a cosmetic problem and did not affect the function of the suit.

Just my two cents... Cheers!
