I am 5'8" tall also. When I ordered mine in 2011 I weighed 215 lbs and I ordered a large which fit really tight. I did some modifications to it and it now fits me. Your height and weight I would order an xlarge at least. Hope this helps.

I believe the size chart us right on the order page somewhere, I am 5'10" and weigh 195 and the large fits well, a little snug but that's the way it should be.

XXL is what fits me well. i am 6'2" 215 Lbs. It will probably be tight or worse on you. I think this is teh largest they make.

I am 5'4" and weighed 150 lbs. when I bought the medium. It was very snug. The top got looser when I lost weight so I just used the drawstring. If your legs are very thick, I would go with the large.

My son is 5'8" and it fits him well with room to go. But it depends on whether you're torso tall or lower body tall. I think it is worth a try. I don't remember their return policy, if it's good with no hassles it's worth a try.

I'm also about 5 ft. tall and weigh about 112. I ordered the 10; it fit but was too long for me.

Well, I am 5 foot 8 inches 165 and the large fits perfectly. I would imagine xl or larger.

i am currently the same weight and height large fits great, a 50 pound difference would be significant and maybe it will not fit as tight however a medium will not fit you now. its a difficult one to answer accurately considering that the lightest i ever weighed was 154lbs and it still fit great.

I'm 5'8" 230 and it fits me perfectly. Depends on your torso, but it should fit. If there's a longer one, I'd go for that if I were you.

I'm a little taller than you (5'8") and the large is a pretty good fit. The website may have a size guide that could be useful. It depends on your chest size and arm length

I am 5'8" 170 and I have a size large. It fits good with room for some clothing underneath. With your size I would think a extra large at least.

I would go up. I am 5'5" and I have the 54 cm. It is a little tall, but it works well for me. For someone 5'11", I know it would be a little small. I would get the 58.

If you are an average size person, a medium is going to do just fine. The straps are adjustable and there are numerous straps adjust to individual body frames and preferences. I'm 5'8 and 185 pounds just as a reference point. Also, if you go on their website, they have some sizing information. Hope this helps.
