The wetsuit is well made and worth the price but it runs small so I would suggest a large or even x-large.

I'm almost 6' and weigh 190 lbs and large fits me well. I think you should get medium

I would definitely go with the large. I'm 6.0 175lbs. The jacket fits, but a little snug and not with much room at all to layer underneath. So I would suggest the large.

No! Stick with the medium....I sm 5'6" 155 and thick legs....looking at tbe medium just out of the package, I thought No way!!! Glad I stuck with the mediums - they are perfect!!!

I'd recommend an XL. It sounds like we have a similar build, and I find the plain large too tight.

I would definitely order a small, I am 6'2 and my legs are the same circumference and the medium was too big and stretched the entire length of my leg, someone at your height from what I've seen would have to go small, possibly xsmall if the small ends up being too long, I was able to return the mediums no problem in exchange for the smalls.

I got a Medium and iam 5' 8 1/2" and 164 lbs.... I would get a Medium ... I think small would be too small

Richard, I own both a large and a medium, I'm 5/10 and 185 and I find the large a bit baggy. The medium fits fine. Given that your frame is larger than mine I would suggest the LARGE. I think the large would fit correctly. Those I run with have tried the "beefier" style and have not been happy with how sloppy it fit as their mileage climbed through the summer. They went back to the elite cut and were very happy.

Here are my thoughts. I'm a 32" waist and a 42" chest. I only weigh about 158-160 lbs. However, I'm 5'10". The legs definitely aren't an issue on the suit since it comes only below the knee (not a full leg suit). I think the medium is right for your waist and shoulders also. Are you (forgive me for putting it this way) "only 5'5" because of a shorter torso or shorter legs? If you simply have short legs, then the medium would probably still be perfect. However, if your legs are longer and your torso is shorter, it might be only a slight issue. All that said, given your chest and waist, the small would still probably be constricting. I'd say to contact the seller in advance and tell them your concerns. That's exactly what I did and they were tremendously helpful (and right) about the sizing.

I'm same measurements and wondering which you went with? Medium or large? Thanks!

I have a medium and it fits great but I am 5-8 185 - large should fit ok for someone longer in build or at most XL - it should be tight to get the right fit from this type of shirt

Definitely larger size than medium!I'm 66 inches and 140 pounds. My medium fits a bit snug.Get the right size and you'll be happy... it's a nice jacket.

If your 6 feet tall and very slim I would say a small, medium may slide down a bit but you will get more length coverage. Medium build go with medium for sure. Large build go with large. When I say build I mean roughly how big your calves are. I'm 5 feet tall ordered a small and I'm always pulling them up in between sparring rounds. Hope this helps!

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.

I am 5'4'' I got a large but the stocking bunches. It seems as if the stocking is too long for my legs. Where it bunches it cut off circulation. Thinks I will try a medium.

Well I'm an average size guy 170/6 feet tall and it fits just right. Kinda snug. If you have big hands/arms, might find it too cozy. And I went for the large.

Hey, I'm 5'7 138 so very close to your size. The issue I had was with the sleeves. I'd highly recommend going with the medium. I ordered the small and the sleeves weren't long enough. Having said that, go with the medium. Hope this helps.

If you are 5'5" and 170lbs, I would recommend a large. If you're 5'5" and less than 175lbs, I would lean towards a medium. If you'e 5'5" and 190lbs+, I would recommend a XL.
