I have been looking all over (all the sailing sites & ebay) for a wet suit to fit my wife. Everything is too small and the unisex are always too long. Anyone know who makes (or modifies) wet suits for sailors?

A long john style with a zipper front would be nice.

My better half has had really good luck with the osprey brand.
only problem is you have to buy them in europe so shipping is a little expensive but well worth it. She couldn't find one state side that fit her well enough.

I'm glad you posted her web site, because I haven't seen her in a long time and had lost her name and phone number.

Double Bonus! smile

If you do speak to her tell her she makes a fantastic product. My wife was one of those "hard to fit" people and this company provides her a wonderful service. Fit, comfort, warmth. Can't ask for more than that.

Thanks for the information on Liquidfit. I'll have to get a rough quote from Carolyn. I will first see if I can find anything at the "Chicago Strictly Sail Show", (not likely, I can't even find what I need there.)
