No, this suit is not durable. My son weighed 380 lbs. and it tore right after he put it on and started walking. The sauna suit does work, because I had one myself from Wal-Mart. It did tare, but it does work.

I believe it will...i am about the same size. It is like a wetsuit material, stretches pretty well...I've had mine over a year now

Yes it is but pants might be big, my husband is 6'feet 070-64-310903 + pounds 42 inch waste and they were big but the shirts fits well and is durable but do not put in wash

Yes it should my husband was 350lbs and he is 6"2 and it is very durable and strong

I'm 5'9 and 154lbs the medium is perfect, meaning if I was a bit taller or heavier it would be too tight.. I think you should go for a bigger size, just take in mind that the suit should be tight, otherwise you'll get cold washes more often.

I am 5'6'' and it fits great. You can adjust and snug as you wish. I recommend the vest and also advice to use the weights accordingly. too fast can be too much too fast. if you are in great shape than this will get you even further, but if you are not I would add weights light to begin with and work myself up. Im not sure where the extra 20 Lbs they give you will be added, there really isn't any more room the the 40 Lbs that comes with , but the company does give you extra 20lbs and that is pretty generous.

I got the 2x for myself, and mn a thick and hippy girl, and it fit nice and snug.... just beware after a month or two of use that it dont start to break up in the seam in the booty area.. but other than love the suit

This suit runs extremely small. I am 5'6 230 well was and wore a 2xl, when I ordered a 2xl it fit like a small. I had to get a 6xl. 6xl fits like a 2xl...I know crazy. Hope this helps

I started using this vest while walking. I was 250 lbs and am 5'11". I had trouble running and got shin splints at that weight. I had already lost 30 lbs before starting with this vest. I lost 3" off my waist and gained 5 lbs of muscle in a rigorous 6 week cycle of walking. 15-20 miles a week walking and walking only. YOU MUST HAVE GREAT CUSHIONING SNEAKERS. I have a full gym, treadmill, bike, elliptical, and i use the vest more than all. I'm down to 225 now and still walk with 40 lbs. I see there is a 60lber now, i'll buy that soon.

Hi Miranda. It is for someone tall. I didn't return mine in time and so I have it to sell it. Still in plastic with the tags. I am only 5'6" and 260 lbs. The 3x fits me in the body tightly but the length is for someone of your height. It very thick which was a little overkill for my purposes. I am just doing a little boogie boarding in NorCal oceans.

YES SIR. Works for me. 5'4 @ 75kg last January 2014. Now im 65 kg hitting my BMI already. This suit + McDavid 491 Waist Trimmer + Zumba.

Yes. I've lost 42 pounds in six months. I am also paying attention to what I'm eating. I don't use mine for long stretches all day, but rather focus on 20-30 minutes of more intense work (it's definitely aerobic). This is especially fantastic for someone who might have limited mobility due to plantar fasciitis (why I started) or someone just starting out with exercise (also me).

I am 5'4 and weigh around 150 and I wear a 28 for competition. I would suggest a 28 or a 30, but it's really a matter of how tight you want the suit to be.

I am 6'1" 195lbs. The Frabill suit I have is a Large. It provides me with a little extra room and length. Fits great.

Hey Chris I was 280 lb at the time when I brought it and used it. I'm only 5'10"Also it was a bit bulky on me and took time to get use to it. 40lb doesn't seem like much but it is. I actually went and got the golds gym vest that is only 25lb and it works much better. I hope this helps you

xl will be a tight fit, like wearing a large(regualr clothes size) ( my shirts i wear a xl) .... i had to send the xl back i got in it but it was a struggle. i'm 5'-9" 195-98lbs , 40 in waist . i have one xxl (1) and two xxxl (2). it takes some getting use to get in and out of the suit. after a while it will stretch a bit. you having a smaller waist then me xxl should fit you fine...if you have wide shoulders then the xxxl might do you bettter. hope this helps you out....

I also am 240 and 5'8" and the xlarge I bought works fine wore it for over 20 dives and they will take it back .Just use a mixture of shampoo and water to make it easier to put on.

JStedler - Your question may not go to the actual seller, I'm not sure. I'm a buyer of the suit and was pinged to see if I could answer your question. I can't, exactly, but I can tell you that I telephoned the seller to ask the same question and they were helpful. The suit I bought fits just fine.
