So, my first suit....but I need to draw on the collective wisdom of yall to help me get the sizing right.
I am 6'1" and 76kgs which mean I fall between a couple of the Orca sizings. My options are;
Size 6.5 - 5'7" - 6'1" and 65 - 76kgs
or
Size 7 - 5'9" - 6'3" and 72 - 84kgs
From all I know you want snug but not too snug! I am at the very top end of one suit and in the middle of the range for the other. Due to location and timescales I am unable to go into a store and try it on first so have to mail order.
From your experience which is the better bet?

Get the bigger size IMHO!!
Orca are well known for being 'very snug' im lead to belive.
I got an Orca Pflex, the size went up to 83KG i belive, yet at 80KG its tight.
Ive dropped to 78KG now and its fine, but bt no means not 'snug' LOL
Hope this helps.[:)]
