Joey is 6'1". I am 5'9". The suit fits him perfectly, no hunching over, no relaxed back. If I stretch my legs to full extension while wearing large shoes, I cannot quite stretch the toes out. If I stretch my shoulders/hunch my shoulders, I cannot stretch the suit taut, as seen in the picture below.

 

I'm on my tiptoes in this picture, stretched as far as my body will stretch. I can't make the fabric stretch tightly on my legs.

 

Joey's hand goes completely out of the sleeve, and can fully grab the gripper without wrinkles in the fabric, and while stretching the sleeve all the way down.

 

With the swoop cord/thumb loop all the way down, it does not provide enough tension, as the arms feel very long, and cover more than half my hand. I cannot get a clean/taut grip on the gripper.

 

The neck feels very large. I can put both hands in the neck and have approximately 4-5" of play in the neck.

 

Here is a comparison of a Phantom and the Blade. This photo illustrates how much taller Joey is than I am.
