Use our Xcel wetsuit size guide to find the right fit before you buy. A well-fitting wetsuit helps maximise warmth, comfort and performance in the water. Use the charts and guidance below to choose the best Xcel wetsuit size for your needs.
An Xcel wetsuit should fit closely to your body with no loose areas or large gaps. It may feel tight when dry, but this is normal and helps reduce water movement inside the suit. You should still be able to move freely through your shoulders, arms and legs without restriction.
Use the size charts below to find your closest fit. If you are between sizes, consider how you plan to use your wetsuit and whether you prioritise warmth or flexibility.

If you fall between sizes, choose the size that best matches your height and chest measurements. For colder water and surfing, a closer fit is recommended to help retain warmth. If you prefer slightly easier movement or a more relaxed feel, you may prefer the larger size.
