Title: Are you 6-2, 220, 36 waist long waist 32 inseam???

If so, what size and brand racing suit do you wear?
At the Penguin School I rented a Vanson 58.  It accomodated my height but was way to big at the waist and hips.

I realize I may have to go with a new custom suit, but I have most of the winter to search for used ones.
Thanks,

I'm exactly those measurement except for being 220... I'm 213 according to my doctor. I wear an AXO HTR 7. Not really sure about the size. I'll look when I get home tonight. It fits slightly lose around the arms and chest area but tight in the crotch area but thats just me.  :)

Paul (my husband) is 6'4" and weighs 225 lbs.  What we have found is that any off the rack suit that will accomidate your height will need to be tailor to accomidate your waist.

I'm 6' 215#, I have Kobe 46.  I blew out a couple of the cheap kevlar shoulder sliders, but Barnacle Bill fixed them the right way.

I'd probably just go with a BB suit for my next leathers.  He'll do you right the first time.  The Kobe's were cheap to start, but don't crash as well as I'd like.
