I have the Pyro Classic is it :?: I'm 6'3 1/2, around 200 and the XL fits in waist/shoulders but is a bit too short, get the XLT 8) Or you can try (and buy?) mine CHEAP and I'll get another one 8) I've worn mine 4X, it's new as used gets :P

Ooops, there is not XLT, http://www.oceanrodeo.com/images/drysuits/sizechart.jpg

Hi Tedz,

I had a custom version of the Pyro Pro suit made for a bit more $ 'cause I'm a lanky mofo' (198 lbs, 6'5") and it fits so much better than the XL I demoed (too short arms/legs). Kus' suit sounds like it might be a good match for you.
By the way, the Pyro rocks; you just don't get cold like you do in a neoprene suit and it's made in a bomber construction. I'm looking forward to checking out the OR dry surf suit.

That's right Ted. O.R. was started by Richard Myerscough & Ross Harrington. Richard is a partner in Whites & they share the same facility here in Central Saanich.

Richard Myerscough wrote:Yes, Ocean Rodeo drysuits are made in the whites factory...in Victoria, BC Canada. Ocean Rodeo is dedicated to kite/ surf products while Whites is focused on sport dive / commercial dive / military and survival-public safety drysuits.
The two companies are separate entities with their own dedicated teams, however we are under the same roof.
The final DryCore concept (used in the surf drysuit) was developed by the Ocean Rodeo R&D team, while the production, build quality etc is looked after by the Whites factory. The Dry Core concept also shows great promise in the scuba market, so we have also just launched a Whites dive version called the Fusion (features drysuit valves).

At times the two brands also share exotic resources like models during photo shoots. How could we resist!!
