What size am I?
Now that personal fittings are no longer available, I invite you to use the chart below to determine your Truli size. The clothing size number is not definitive, so if you are curvy in boobs, bum, or belly, I recommend going up a size or two from your regular clothing size. Long torso sizes can work for standard torsos too. I highly recommend purchasing more than one size, which works well for when your body naturally fluctuates in size.

We used to custom fit you online to determine your Truli size and then reply back with availability and an invoice for payment. Today, you are meant to pick your own size and purchase online directly with a credit card or Paypal. If you are Canadian, you have an additional option to purchase via E-transfer - please send an email to info@truliwetsuits.com to make arrangements.
The Truli sizing system was created using your height, weight, bra size and general clothing size along with your bust, waist, hip measurements. We used to have a Truli Sizing Specialist who would check our database of measurements and make a Truli size recommendation, let you know availability of stock, and then send over an invoice when you were ready to make your purchase.
It is so important that you have the correct size for a wetsuit to function properly. A wetsuit should fit snug against your body; if it is a loose wetsuit or has gaping arm or leg holes, it will cause water to move in and out preventing you from staying warm. However, a wetsuit that is too tight will feel restricting.
The Truli Wetsuits brand promotes body positivity, healthy lifestyles that are connected to the water, and inclusivity. If your passion is the water, Truli Wetsuits wants to make sure a good quality and beautiful women's wetsuit is available for you.
In 2019, after a year of developing, trying and testing, we introduced not only 2 new designs, but a new size range that included a total of 14 standard sizes and 7 long torso sizes. In 2021, we added an additional 2 more sizes to the range for a total of 23 sizes overall. As of December 2022, we sold out of all plus size wetsuits (very generally US clothing size 18+). Due to systemic challenges in the textile/neoprene industry and rising costs, no further re-stocking of any sizes will occur. If you are plus size and would like a Truli, we recommend checking out Sisterhood of the Travelling Wetsuit Facebook group to see about any re-sells.
Since there are slight variations between the sizes, it is easy to move up or down a size based on your unique shape. Some women with large chests have felt a snug fit in their regular size and have chosen to go one or two sizes up with still a comfortable fit. You can be sure that the front zip is strong and the neoprene does wonders to hold everything in place.
You may find an old sizing table that included body weight and dress size on the internet; however, that one is not accurate and should not be followed! I created that one in 2018 when I only had a vague idea on how I would be fitting customers. Now that I have the feedback from customers, I have more accurate information to base our size recommendations on and there are way more factors than just your body weight that goes into deciding which size might work best for you.You may notice that we don't use traditional size names. The reason is because we didn't feel those names accurately reflected who we are; instead, we adapted the size categories with words inspired by trail-blazing women.
