My Leviathan has creases in the hips. It’s a XL. Me and my teammates aren’t sure if I need a large instead. It seems to fit. But they are afraid they won’t be to tighten it down anymore than what they did on Sunday. Suggestions?

It’s hard to make a diagnosis from your description. I would suggest reposting your question with a picture or two. That would make it easier to say if it’s tight enough.

Height and weight will help us figure it out too. Are you wearing briefs on underneath? Have you made any alterations to the strings/segments?

After seeing your post on IG, I think you are fine with that suit, but I would suggest adding another adjustment in the suit. That is the great thing about these suits as you can get as custom as you want. I personally have 5 settings on my Leviathan Ultra Pro. I like to leave my upper half snug and really tighten down the hip area with multiple adjustments.

I have 7 settings on my LUP and Byrd has 7 as well. (maybe 6)

I’d def advise you doing a few extra settings to help fine-tune it.

Good luck!
