     I got a custom suit from Heat Wave too, and love the fit - there' just
     no comparison. It's a 5/3, but doesn't seem as warm as my old Body
     Glove Titanium. The rubber seems a lot softer, and there's more nylon.

You could pay a few extra bucks and get a custom wetsuit made to fit you
exactly. I got one from Heatwave in Santa Cruz over the winter. It fits
great and the seams look like they should last, but only time will tell for
sure.
