Other than Henderson and Xcel, who else makes "large tall" sizes in mens wetsuits?

Thanks

Pinnacle makes size large tall wetsuits, as well as many other tall/short/big sizes. Their suits are great -- very warm and durable. Scubatoys carries some Pinnacle suits on their website if you want to check them out.

I'm 6' 6" and 330lbs.. I have a full Henderson Gold Core suit. Head to toe, literally.

I've been eye balling the Pinnacle as well. I may see if I can try some on the next time I'm at STs.

I used to dive the cheapist suit I could get and then would switch to a dry suit once the water dipped below 70. Once I switched to my pinnacle I started to dive in 85 degree water in a 5/4 Fusion and lower temps in my Artic 7/5. Now I dive the Seal 3 for the summer. So you can see I'm sold on the Pinnacle! And yes they do have tall and short sizes.

I believe Bare and Xcel both make a pretty large variety of size options.

Bare does offer suits in a wide variety of sizes to fit most people acceptably off the shelf. My wetsuit and drysuit are both Bare...and I couldn't be happier with both.

Bare makes some of their models in Large Tall. I just got a 7mm XL-Tall from our hosts , and it fits really nice and snug. I'm 6'4" and 210#s.

If you are of an atypical size, you may also want to investigate getting a custom wetsuit made. My custom wetsuit was about the same costs as an off-the-rack wetsuit, and it is so much warmer and comfortablethan the rentals I had been using primarily because it fit me well.
