I am having great difficulty finding my wife a wetsuit that fits properly. She is about 5'10 and 130, and the torso is longer than most suits allow for. She complains of pulling in the shoulder and neck. She tried on the promotion 8t and that was no good, the 10t was just extra material with out extra height. I would appreciate any advice.

Have you tried any of the mens suits for her? The mens ones tend to be leaner and taller then the womens suit.

If you dont get any good suggestions let me know and I can ask Arla she's probably close to your wifes height

Try finding a suit with super stretchy material. Also a men's tall would probably fit. You'll pay a little more and it will wear out a little faster, but the newer materials feel like butter on your skin. Billabong has some sweet products. http://www.billabong.com/us/product-cat/345/sg5-wetsuit-range#item_4496_654-hood

Kind of an odd time to be trying to find a suit, but you might want to see if Pepi at 2nd Wind has any Hyperflex suits in stock. They're really stretchy.
