Default Fit of OMP vs. Sparco driving suits similar?

I'm looking at getting an OMP suit. I have a 60 Sparco, but according to the OMP chart I'm all over the place. Anyone worn both? Is the fit reasonably close for the same size? TIA,

Greg

Greg:
The OMP suits run much bigger. You are probably going to be a size 56 in OMP if your Sparco is a 60. My OMP is a 54 and I fit in a size 58 Sparco. The different manufacturers seem to be all over the place as far as sizing goes.

Have you considered getting a custom made stand 21? I have found the modest additional expense to be well worth it

Thanks Mark, I found a buddy who is my size or a bit bigger and he has both a 60 sparco and a 56 OMP. I just ordered a 56. By the way, OMP has a pretty cool outlet on their website. I got a $300 kart suit for $99.
