I'm 5'10 285lbs. i'm worried that the slim fit would be a problem with my belly/love handles and concealed carry. what size should i get 2xl or 3xl?

The big question is this: how big are your shoulders and chest? The waist and belly areas are good. The shoulder area is what gave me some issues. I wear a 4xl and went with the 5xl because I have big shoulders from lifting weights.

To be honest, I took the best educated guess I could. Large fit me well, though I have large hands. I would recommend just go with you gut. And sorry for the late reply. Thank, Addy R.

I wear a 34" waist. This week my belly is 37.25". My goal belly size is 35". I have a large belt. I'm at the small end of the belt and will have to get a smaller one soon. Measure your belly. If you're right on the transition, get the smaller one. (Unless you're a power lifter competing in a heavy division, but then this isn't the belt for you, anyway.)EDIT TO ADD: I didn't realize you're female. Measure around your belly. The idea of a weight belt isn't the same a back brace. You simply press your belly against the belt to increase the internal belly pressure which, in turn, supports your spine. It's a good belt for the money. I don't do squats or deadlifts without it. I wear a 34" waist. This week my belly is 37.25". My goal belly size is 35". I have a large belt.

I can only say my husband is 275lb and 6 ft and I got him a 3X because of his belly and it fits perfect. Under Armour runs small so maybe a 1X. good luck

Mine is 1.5" wide but tapers down to approx. 1" where the holes are at that allow you to buckle the belt. Mine has 6 holes spaced to allow plenty of adjustment. I typically use the two holes in the middle, one for right after I eat and my belly is full and the other for when I really want my firearm up tight against me.. As far as sizing goes, I went by the instructions on their website and the belt turned out perfect. I can't remember the exact instructions, but they were right... It's a great belt and has provided me a more comfortable CCW experience. It goes with both dress attire and a pair of blue jeans... Very versatile... Good luck and stay safe...

I am a 36 waist so i got a size 38 . Its a holster belt so you need a little room to fit your pistol. If you open carry just get your size.

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 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.

We have three in XL and one in the 5XL. We only use the tops not the pants. My son is 6'5", 260, broad shoulder athlete. I am busty but could probably wear the L, but I like the looseness (and its cheaper just to share the ones we have) Tight when working out is uncomfortable for me. We actually haven't opened the 5XL yet. My husband is a 3XLT, so to accommodate for liking it loose we ordered two sizes larger. They definitely make you sweat. Best to take off outdoors when you're done with your workout.I just noticed the reply below about the ripping/tearing. We've only had to replace ONE suit and I wash after every work out. I wash, use downy on the rinse cycle, and then hang to dry. We have three in XL and one in the 5XL. We only use the tops not the pants. My son is 6'5", 260, broad shoulder athlete.

I wear a 2/3xl comfortably and mine fits very loosely. They are large, depending on what all you may have to carry.

I love this shirt! I got it because it is very fitted - a different style than most Columbia shirts. I am 5'5" and 145 lbs. I bought a Medium because I like the fitted look. I have worn a sleeveless Tee underneath. the shirt is also cut up slightly at the sides, with a bit longer tail and front, not the style generally tied at the waist. If you definitely want to wear the shirt that way, I would recommend the Larger size. Hope this helps!

I'm about the same build, a little shorter, but roughly 240 and 36 waist...My recent purchase of KW products were all 2x and as far as shirts fit quite snug...Ultimately your decision, but I think the large may be a bit uncomfortable for you.

Well, I am size 38 in jeans too I get Large size and it fit good now if you want it a little tighter a Medium will work, I'm not sure about the belly but it give you a good hit on the lower part of the belly.

I'd say you were borderline. I am 5'8" 215# with a bit of a pot belly - the XXL is snug at my waist but still comfortable because the material on the back side is stretchy. The XXL is maybe an inch or two too long but that's OK on a bike. If you go with the XXXL you should be fine in the length and probably the waist also. The sizing sucks but other than that they are a fantastic piece of cycling clothing. A real value.

I would go with the XL. Here is the reason: No one likes to feel too constricted when we know we are trying to cut weight. The outfit I purchases is overlarge for me -- but, it helps me to fee slimmer already. It helps me to "want" to work out. and there is nothing wrong with having legs too long on the pants when the whole package is getting to the right proportions. Also, I would recommend lounging around in the outfit a time or two during the week. It is comfortable for that as well, but you get used to wearing it. Purchase some Gold Bond or other medicated powder to use before putting it on, and/or after taking it off and after showers. Otherwise, chaffing could be a problem. Go for the XL - definitely!

I am 5' 10" 280 and big chest too and I ordered the 3XL and it fits me just fine. I am in between 2XL and 3XL so I have the 3XL and it fits fine.

I would go with the xl as they are coats for big and tall people and the 2xl would seem to be a little too loose..you will have plenty of room to wear a nice sweater under it,and feel comfortable with it......it is a big coat!!!!!
