King 2 is the approximate height of a Large and XL Short and the weight of a XXXL. The actual range is 5'10" to 6'1" tall and between 240 and 275 pounds.

Comments about Pinnacle Pinnacle Evolution 2 Front-Entry Men's Drysuit:

Great suit, and not falling apart by any means. I've put about 50 dives on mine in Northern Cal, mostly shore dives. This suit is bomb proof. Heavy duty material might make it a bit stiff for some people, but that makes it super durable. Burly zipper and good Si-tec valves. The fit around the chest feels a bit large on me, but other than that, a great suit!

Comments about Pinnacle Pinnacle Evolution 2 Front-Entry Men's Drysuit:

I bought this suit on the recommendations of an instructor from my local dive shop. My suit may be a bad apple, but it is falling apart. It is Pinnacle's 'flagship' suit, and I expected better quality. I'm a DM in WA state and dive regularly in 40-50 degree water.The glue on the valves and seals has oxidized and become flaky. I am a materials engineer and I know poor quality glue when I see it. [...]IN SHORT DO NOT BUY A DRY-SUIT FROM PINNACLE!!!
