Wetsuit sizing

Being a newbie to open water swimming this year i don't really know much about the above.



i'm hopefully going to be hiring one from triuk but was a little confused about the sizing.



i'm 180cm in height, 79-82kg weight and chest of about 92cm.



From those stats i've got 3 options F2.5, F3 and F3.5

sizing table



how does the weight part effect the wetsuit?? I can understand height and chest but not that one.



apologies if its quite straight forward but i've never owned one.



thanks for your help in advance

    as in all gear: try before you buy!

    that is all well and good, however TriUK are based in Yeovil and i'm based in Northumberland (so pretty much the other end of the country) and i don't know of any shops that actually stock wetsuits up here.

    Cheers,
