Akona makes up to 5XL. They are relatively inexpensive yet well made suits. My family has four of them 1mm - 7mm. I take a 5XL. I consider them a godsend to the larger diver.

Yes, we carry the Akona as well. Not as comfy as the hyperstretch, but a lot cheaper.

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!

What sizes? (the Hyperstretch that is? )

I guess I could go look it up, but my post count would suffer!
