I think your BEST bet is to go to your LDS and try some on in person; you might play the get it and return it game if you order from on line. Once you are satisfied with make/model, THEN shop online i fit behooves you. I speak from personal experience here.....I just happened to live 45 minutes from ST so I was able to try a bunch on if I wanted.

I know several people that swear by the ScubaPro "everflex" material, and say it is unlike the feel of a normal wetsuit.
That same suit is the one that I am aspiring to get..
Definitely look for authorized dealers in your area and go try each one of them on.

:rant on ... I don't mean to hijack the thread, however, it bugs me when someone suggests you use any store, scuba or not, THEN shop online. If you're going to use a store to help choose what you want, you need to give them a chance to earn the business, which they partially already have by helping you decide what you want to buy. If everyone made a general practice of this, stores would fold and then where do you go? :rant off
