Nope. I'll back polar21's statementthat wet suits "shrink". Several of mine have done so. :doh

I haven't seen a Harvey in years. They used to make a good suit, but they were strange people to work with and no 2 suits were exactly alike. We used to joke that evry one was a custom suit, we just didn't know who it was custom for.

Thanks for the opinions fellas! Looks like a 3/2 full suit is going to be a good all around suit to get started. I think my girlfriend might have that in mind for a xmas gift .

If your starting to dive right now...might want to start with a farmer John, or shortly here a 7mm and hood.

If your not gonna start till next summer a 3/2 would be great.

I just went to farmer John last dive, and was glad. Bout another month it will be time for the 7mm I am thinkin.

I got a bodyglove 5/7 (i am a wimp for cold water) and got the spearfishing one they sell. It's got reinforced chest plate so when you load your gun it won't wear out and reinforced kneepads. It's kinda a gray cammo color but not that real ugly cammo (IMO) of some of the other wetsuit brands. If you want a different thickness the have a 3/4 and maybe a 2/3 in the same type. I got it from pleasuresports. Here is a link to the one I got http://www.pleasuresports.com/bodyglove-ex3-5mm.html.
