I bought the Woman’s PI wetsuit WW4994c. Looks great however does not fit. I am 6ft and weigh 73-74 kg, so according to the size chart this was the right 1 for me. I cant get it close to zipping up !! 2XU were of no help, kept referirng me to the size guide. Now trying to sell on ebay.
Thanks for sharing your experience. 2XU didn’t want to change it?
Sometimes the manufacturers advise to go one size up witht their wetsuits. Maybe it’s the case with 2XU.
