I would ask Ben what is available from Orvis, he'll probably see this thread this evening sometime :wink

If he can't help, maybe check out the snowbee sizes ( they do "FB" full bodied ) and you can access their PDF size chart here http://www.snowbee.co.uk/size_charts.html

Cheers

You should fit into either small or medium short gents waders but you could try the ladies too.  I sell a few pairs to guys every year, be best to call into the shop and try a few pairs in various sizes & styles.

Great stuff Ben :z16

There you go JR .... "try before you buy" in your local Orvis Banchory Store, can't get better than that and you'll find Ben really helpful :wink
