I've been an oceanfront guard for 6 years and these suits have been my standby! Order a size down from what you think you'd be, the suit stretches after some wear (swimming, sitting on chair all day). Stays on in BIG surf, which is a feature I need. Bottom pinches around muscular thighs, hips though

I was worried that I wouldn't order the correct size, but the sizing chart was very accurate and the suit fits perfectly,
