I'm 5'1" and weigh 105lbs. Seeing that I'm smaller, is youth a better choice to purchase?

I'm not an expert by any means, but I would imagine you want a smaller adult size. I doubt youth shin guards are built for the abuse an adult will put on them.

It maybe, may I suggest small, ankle wraps/ braces to give you extra room. Hand wraps 180 or 108 inches for ankles. YouTube Muay Thai ankle wrapping, for better support on ankles and feet, prevent any injury ligaments, tendances, cartilages, especially brusing (flesh or bones) and soreness. Have healthy, safe work out. Take care, remember try to have fun, enjoyable workout and self defense.

I'm a lean (155, 5'11" - waist 30") fit runner, and the medium fits me well. The small would be too small for me, and the medium is plenty long for me, with an easy 3-4" of spare material that usually gets smoothed around my ankles. I'd suggest the medium, which is also what I'll probably get my own teen-aged son.

You could probably go either way. You want it snug so a med. might be better unless you think you might gain a little around the waist and grow out of it. I'm 5'11" 215 and large is a good fit. I'm going to order another one of these. They are cool.

I am a 5'11" female who weighs 150 lbs. Despite my height and weight the Adult SM is still huge. I'd recommend sticking with the SM for your size.

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.

Yes, the youth size should fit well. You can adjust the straps as necessary.

It could be but it depends on how broad your shoulders are. I am 5'10 and I use the XL since i have a wide frame. I also like to move around in my sleep.

I'm 5'10" and 200lbs and I opted for the large size and they are just barely large enough. I think a regular should work for you just fine.

It may be small. It is liberal on me but I am 5'3" and weigh 115. I also removed most of the weights cause it feels heavier when worn.

I think a large would be fine for you, you're tall but small frame its sounds so that should work.

The "Petite Core" is sized for petite people. I'm 5'1". Probably works for kids too. Regular would probably be better for your height.

I'm 5'7" and weigh about 160 lbs so obviously I'm pretty stocky with good upper body muscle. The medium worked for me but I think for you the small would be better. Definitely get the zipper. It's a lot easier then pulling it off and on.

I would go with an adult size. One difference between youth and adult is the length of the straps. With an adult size you can shorten the straps, but you can't lengthen them on a youth size.

I am 5'10'' 160 and med is a little big on me... you might wanna try small.

Hi. I'm 5'3" and ~120 lbs. I get these in small and they're great. I wonder how much smaller xs would be. Since you're 10 pounds lighter and an inch talker, I'd try xs. I hope they work out for you!

I'm 5'10" 160, I got the small and it fits well. I think their stuff runs small.

I'm just under 6' and weigh 155 and the L/X worked best for me. Try them on at a store if possible. If not, you would probably need a L/X. Hopefully return shipping is free, just in case.
