Swix Ski Suits
Does someone know if Swix ski suits tend to run large or small compared
to other brands of suits, tights or even regular clothing? I'm trying to figure out if I would fit in a medium or large suit since I usually wear a large pair of tights and a medium top. Jay Wenner |

I'm trying to figure out if I would fit in a medium or large suit since I usually wear a large pair of tights and a medium top. Jay Wenner Jay, Sorry about the pm I sent you as I meant send it to the group! I tried on a large Swix suit tonight and it fit me perfectly. Comfortably snug without being restrictive or seam bursting. A medium would be a ''stretch'' for sure. However, the jacket was a medium and plenty roomy. I feel a large would have been, well, large..... So, I'm going with the large suit and medium jacket. I'd say the large Swix suit is quite close in size to last years Fischer (Loeffler) suit in medium and about the same as a large VOMax. Again, I'm 5' 8-1/2'' and 160 lbs with a longish 32'' inseam. Oh, the suit I tried on tonight was the Team Norway two-piece. Hope this helps! Mike........ |

Hmmm... they actually let you get large pants and a medium top in one
suit? Interesting. Did not work for me last year (I mean, for my wife). |

Yeah, I've been able to order large tights with a medium top for a few
years, I guess because the tights and tops are ordered separately. My stats: 31 waist x 30 or 31 length (but it's my quads that usually need the large sized tights) 5''7-1/2" 140 lbs Last year the Loeffler medium top was about right or a little large....pipecleaner arms from all the cycling....just enough strength to hold on the bars...and then my left hand falls asleep. Guess I'll have to try on a suit just to make sure,. but I appreciate the info. The Swix web site makes it sound like the suit are much bigger based on their sizing chart. Thanks, Jay |

Thanks, Jay Boy, that's a for sure about Swix's size chart. Based on the large I tried on, I'd have to say the chart has nothing to do with the reality of their lycra suits. It is more realistic concerning the jacket, however. fwiw, Mike........ |
