That's a +1 from my on Ronstan Skiff Suits. I'm on my third LJ now. Really tough, flexi knees and shoulders, no velcro on the shoulders to rub, padded back of the thigh. I saw one on sale just after I bought the last one so bought it 'for stock'... just broken it out after 3 years. Now looking for a deal in one in time for 2020!

I'm nearly 6' and 90+kg Embarrassed. Large would be just a little snug for me to grow any more.

I have several ronstan skiff suits, and they are the best wetsuit I have ever owned.

I'm 6'2" with a 34" waist but a fairly narrow weedy chest but they fit like a glove. Mine are L.

I can't recommend them highly enough.

How's the sizing?  Does it come up big or small.  My chest needs a medium, my waist is XXL according to the Ronstan size charts.  Time for a diet!!

Still interested to hear from any Ronstan skiffsuit wearers.

I likey.

I really rate some of their kit.  My bipoly and waterblocker tops are my goto kit. Wasn't so keen on their metalite shorts.

I note they have just released a 1.5mm part metalite version of their Ultimate LJ, which might be worth considering or RS still have the previous 2mm non-metalite version in stock.

doubt it'll get that much snagging once you put a bin bag spray top and a bob-a-job floaty coaty over the top.  

It's one of the few sailing brands which seems to understand decent grade neoprene and for a little over a hundred quid, it'd be a good investment even if only for two seasons use.

Will need to try one on if I can find a local stockist.  I've historically been too big for a medium and too small for a large with Gul kit.  It took me over 10 minutes to get out of one of their medium neoprene tops in a changing room once!!
