alright, chances are i will be competing around 160 or so. you believe there is no competition between poly and canvas?

For me yes...however some people find they don't like canvas as well as poly. It is a completely different animal. Truth be told...until I take mine into battle I cannot be sure what I think of it either. It's just one of those things that you have to determine if it works for you. The difference between the two is alot like the difference between a poly and a denim bench shirt. They both require different strength and have different grooves. You just have to try it and see....which with the price tag on a canvas suit...it makes for an expensive trail and error session.

Such is the nature of the game. Sorry I couldn't give you a more definitive answer.

Double canvas suit is $230. shipping is sually $12 -
$14. so total max..$245.00.

I take personal checks or money orders and ship priority mail COD. (haven't had any trouble with checks so far)

Measurments: chest at sternum / waist / hip at widest part of butt muscles / upper thigh where you bend during squat / length of leg you want / circumference of thigh where leg will stop (hem) also want your weight and height.

Excuse me as I take advantage of this thread space and post a question:

For a first-timer....er rather "beginner" power lifter, what suit do you folks recommend? Another thing is I don't plan on competing very much as a power lifter, since strongman is my primary focus. Maybe two or three meets in the coming year.

Anywhoos, my first meet is WABDL sanctioned bench/dead. Thinkin' of getting a bench shirt and a dead suit. Looked at Karin's site, and I thought I should get some advice before making some major purchases.

Thanks in advance.
