I’ve read through multiple questions/answers on here, and I’m just confused on the sizing for Inzer. For the FusionDL, it says to measure hips and the largest part of your butt, then subtract 8 from that. I’m at 40, after the math is done. I’m 6′ and weigh 290. I’m benching in a 54 or 56 borrowed shirt(can’t remember the exact size), so I’m either rocking that amazing V taper, or I’m off on my measurement.

Just echoing what was already said. Give them a call, it is actually pretty close. I have sizing issues due to legs and my gut. Every body structure is a little different, so its not a one size fits all. You also need to take into account if you are going to wear any briefs under the suit. My deadlift sucks so I use all the gear I can get!

Hello,

There is more to the picture than just the size and weight. How big are your legs vs your belly vs your hips? Definitely, call them for sizing questions.

The sizing is not the same for shirts and suits, FYI so you still don’t have a v-taper, lol.

To give perspective, I wear a 38 2ply fusion, 56 bench shirt (how can fit in a 54 is beyond me) and a 38 brief at 5’9″ 265, so it might be right. Call them, it might be closer to a 42. But again, how big are your legs??

thanks and best of luck! tell Inzer we sent you over.

Best advice is to give Inzer a call at 800-222-6897, they can help you with sizing.

For context, I bet that size is right. At 5’6″ 245, I was wearing a size 38 with double, sometimes triple ply briefs under the suit. And it wasn’t super tight. But give them a call, they can talk you through it and make sure the size is right.
