I bought one of their polyurethane coated swim skins for an open water race in 2009, when that sort of suit was still FINA legal. It isn’t any more, but I still use the suit for a little extra warmth with no added buoyancy. Although the suit in size XL is only supposed to go up to 180 lbs, I was 205 (at 5′-8″) at the time and had no problem getting it on. I don’t know if their XL wetsuits are as generously cut, but they’re probably worth a look.
Oh, and I got third in my age group (women 50-54) wearing that suit at the Provincial championship that year, so it also has sentimental value. :-)

Have you ever done the Hustle Up the Hancock?? I’ve been challenged to compete with a friend in this and am looking for some sort of training program for an event that will kick my a**!!!

I’m new to your blog since I only recently read about it in Chicago Athlete I think but I love your stories and tips and fashion finds. Addidas also has some good plus sized shirts I recently discovered!

Keep up the great work!
Jeni
