Hi TW, I think the ML size would still fit him. The sizes are made to be a bit loose to allow for extra layers underneath so I think it would fit fine. The XL/XXL size would be too long for him.

The XL would be your best bet. After all if it is a little baggie that isnt a bad thing.

I ordered it for my girlfriend. I think I got her a medium and she is about 135. Broader shoulder build and she felt the medium was nice and snug, as it is supposed to be. Go with the Large.

Dear sir/madam,If your son also a tall boy, My advice is x-l. If he is normal height, can choose L

My son is 6'5" and 250, he needed a xxl, for length more than anything. I would suggest a XL, as they are tight fitting anyway.

Well Steve, I am 5' 10" tall, with wide shoulders and I got a large. It fit very well, not tight. I would try an XX large if I was you.

I posted my measurements in my review for the 2XL size, I have a 54 inch chest and a 50 inch waist, I think that the 2XL size will be perfect for you, you can make adjustments top and bottom to fit your build. Additionally, both Amazon and 5.11 are amazing companies, both with work with you on any returns or size questions.

Given that I have only bought one size, and I am a fully grown adult, it's difficult for me to recommend which one you should pick for your son. But, I did scan through the reviews to see which ones mention buying smaller sizes for their children. I came across a few that would at least come close to your son's statistics. The first one I found was bought for a 9 year old who was "Very tall" for her age, and they got her a medium. The reviewer said that if you buy a size perhaps slightly bigger than you were hoping for, the outfit comes with several straps that wrap around the waist and legs that can tighten it. (which I can confirm is true.) The only part that I've ever found to be loose is the upper chest region. I can't even seem to get that region to stay tucked in when I move around too much in the outfit. Also, another reviewer bought this for her 13 year old son who was 5'7 and 120 pounds and chose large. She said it was "a tad loose, but not too long." This is probably the example you were looking for, so listen carefully: Given the fact that you son is the same age as hers, and is both shorter and weighs less than her son, Medium might be a wiser choice - but remember I can't confirm that, I've never bought or tried any other side except for XL. At any rate, I think whether you pick medium or large everything will be fine. The medium might fit perfectly, and the large, if you decided to get that one, would at least be really comfortable, nonrestrictive to motor functions, and more importantly; he'd be able to continue using it as he ages and grows. So either decision you make I think you'll find good things about either of them. Hope I was of help.

Since this item costs a considerable amount, I'd go with the 158lb & up. It will take you a while to get used to them and you'll have them for years to come. My son is 6'2" and 147 pounds and wears/plays with his periodically and has no complaints. Plus, his heavier friends can use them without concern of overweight limits and breaking.

Medium is meant for 5"4 to 5"7 so medium is probably the best fit for him. I'm 16 and 5"11 yet I use medium because they're little and light and being the forward I want to be I think it's best but that's my opinion and one day it'll probably screw me over but yeah medium for a safe nice fit

I bought L and my husband who is 6'1 -210lb wear it just fine, but personally if they have XL I would go for that.

It depends on your build. I'm 5'8" and 180lbs and have a large. It's a bit tight where I've got a 42" chest. At 223 lbs, I'd guess that you would need an XL. It may be a little long, but that's probably better than too tight.

I would go with large because of your shoulders. But maybe try a medium first if you really concerned

my son is 5'10" and 130lbs and I ordered him a medium and it fit great; I suggest that you order a Large.

I ordered a size large (12-14) for my son and he weighs 77 lbs and is 4'11-- the fit is great, room to grow but doesn't look too big. It's because he is so skinny. I think the med would have been too short in the sleeves. I like that he has room underneath to layer. He loves this coat! I think the large would be fine for your son- he would prob quickly grow out of the med as they seem to be close to the same size. He is slightly shorter but I don't think it would be too long. I hope this helps.

I know this does not answer your exact question, but maybe this will help...My husband is 5'7" and about 220lbs. He is very stalky with broad shoulders. He usually wears an XL so that is what I ordered. It fit him perfectly. The length is pretty much what it looks like in the picture, even for his height. Hope this helps somewhat.

I'm 5'9 and 185 fairly muscular build and wear xl but I prefer it not so tight I can't breath. I'd prob recommend a large but it comes down to personal preference. Oh one other note I usually wear large in shirts in general and it's only with this particular under armour material that get xl but both these super hero ones and I have some long sleeve reg ones it is the same story.

Hello there. My boys that I bought it for are 13 and 16 and they said that the men's small ran on the smaller side. They weigh 120-130 lbs. Not sure what the size range is. Not sure if this helps you.
