Wetsuit for bigger upper-body

I currently have a sleeveless wetsuit, but am considering a full-sleeve suit for an ironman race in colder water next season. While I'm certainly not a bodybuilder or anything like that, I have a bit of muscle mass in my chest and shoulders. Some of the full-sleeve suits I've tried have seemed a bit tight in that area. Any recommendations on full suits with a bit more room up top?

    Look into the DeSoto 2 piece wetsuit. You can get the top in one size & the bottom in a different size. They can fit a wider range of body types that way. Go to their website, I think it is "Dessotosport.com"(if not search DeSoto Sport) & look at their size charts. I have one. With my chest size most one piece wetsuits that would fit me would be for someone 6'2". I'm 5'10". I've had the Desoto T-1 for 6 years & am very happy with it.
