Despite the reviews saying this suit and similar Dolfin chloroban suits ran very small, I ordered my normal size, 34, knowing I could return it if needed. Well, the suit did end up being WAY too small. I couldn''t even get it up over my hips so I ended up returning it and re-ordering 2 sizes up. After getting the size 38 suit I was still very disappointed when I tried it on. The lower half of the suit was still very tight and the chest area was too loose. I don''t consider myself oddly proportioned and have never had an issue like this with any other suit I''ve owned (I''ve owned hundreds of suits!), even other Dolfin suits. Unfortunately, I will be returning...again. (For reference: 5''3'''', 148 lbs, 36'''' chest, 30'''' waist, 38'''' hips, 60'''' torso)
On the upside, the color/pattern was really cool (I got the orange) and being a long-time competitive swimmer and owning tons of suits I could tell the material was of high quality and would have lasted a long time.
I think that if Dolfin had a better, detailed sizing chart there wouldn''t be as much sizing issues.
