Matuse fits me perfect, their suits feel good/ materials seem as good as anyone else, so I buy those. However, their front zips have an opening that my hips seem to overstretch, so no go. I quickly ruined one I had. I buy their back zips only on sale and actually almost always have one in a box for when the others finally meet their maker. I bought a Feral and loved the materials, but the fit wasn't quite right. My point, go try on a bunch of suits and find the brand(s) that fits best, then you can play with materials. My cousin, who is well build but slender, is a Med or Med- Tall and I was shocked at how each brand fit so differently when he tried on 3-4 different brands. Then, the stretch in materials created a new factor.\n        \n\n\nClick to expand...\n\n\n\n\nIronically, I've found Matuse to be one of the least durable \"high end\" suits I've owned. Two seasons in and most every seam on my 3/2 Dante is leaking. Freshwater flush after every session, dried out in the garage out of the sun, etc. Should have just gone with an Isurus as I've got a couple that still going strong after five years."]], "columns": ["post_id", "thread_id", "thread_title", "post_number", "author_username", "post_date", "post_date_iso", "post_body"], "primary_keys": ["post_id"], "primary_key_values": ["381113"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6302199999481672, "license": "Public Domain"}
