How well does this fit a man with a 42 waist and XXL shirts? I think my chest is 52 inches. Tight fit, OK fit?

It should range just about right. I'm 6'2" 250lbs, i had to exchange the vest a the zipper failed. Just sent them a photo, sure wished they use YKK zippers. Bill

Its an OK fit. I have about same chest size. There are 3 adjustment straps on each of sides. With about 6 inches of adjustment.

i wear a size med-large shirt and a 34 waist and i have to tighten this thing all the way down and it is a lil loose still. with it all the way i have about 5+inches of adjustment strap left on both sides giving it a total of 10+ inches that it could expand out. so, with that being said i believe it would fit. my best friend tried it on and didn't have to loosen it all the way and he is about 5'10" 280lbs.

I am a 44 waist and prefer a xxxl shirt. I can wear some xxl, but prefer a little baggier fit. This vest fits me perfectly with a little left to spare on the adjustment straps. I highly recommend it for us bigger fellas.

it will fit the vest will fit you the belt will need to be adjusted and it's max Length is51 inches with ought any trouble although it will need to take a while to adjust and the chest max horizontal leingth is 52.5 inches so it would fit. you adjust this size by looking on the back of the vest next to the molle straps and the belt can be adjusted by looking on the inside it is Velcro and its pretty simple but if you don't like the belt it comes with you can use your own and thread it through oh and to adjust the height of the vest there are Velcro pads on the shoulders that stretch the overall leingth to 27 inches so this vest can fit like almost everybody.

Sorry im late to answer. I wear an XL loosely and I could stretch the straps pretty far out. I don't think you will have a problem fitting it.

I wear 34" waist w/ LG shirt, the vest has 6" of extra strap of each side. Expandable to in theory to 54" chest, it will probably fit. Amazon has a liberal return policy. For the price, go for it.

Hi. I'm 5 ft 11 inches @ 165lbs. I purchased the large and it is definitely a bit snug, especially in the shoulders and chest. I would recommend purchasing a size larger than what you normally wear from Columbia or other manufacturers.

I am a 3x and it does not fit over my shoulders. 2x its tight and 1x/smaller it fits nicely if you are a M/L then its going to be like a dress on you. Make sure to measure your chest to see it only fits a 48, i did not read this or do this and im a 52.

I'm 5' 6" and my chest is 42". I have the size 14 and it fits snuggly. The size 16 might fit you best. You could order 2 sizes and return one after you try them both. Good luck!

yes. It is a baggy fit. My husband wears XL. The 44 was too tight in shoulders by good at waist. The 46 is good at shoulders (he is broad), and skinny waisted.The waist is big, but not terribly big. The 48 would be best if you are a "big" guy.

I ordered the Large considering I am a 40-42 chest... works just fine... you might need to have someone do the initial adjustment/fitting with you.

I am 46" chest and use an XL. It will be a snug fit over a winter jacket but it will work OK.

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.

It is a tight shirt but his regular size should fit him ok. Going an extra size never hurts.

I am 6' , 254lbs 36" waist 50" chest fits me well. Probably could have got away with XL but needed room for cold weather gear under it. Hope this helps.

Those things are tricky. I'm 5'1", 121 lbs, 38 hips, 34 chest and wear a size 2, small. It fits just right, with no room to spare. However, I've bought and returned small and mediums from other brands because they were either too tight around the hip and/or too big around the chest. I would go with a medium if your chest is bigger than mine. Good lucky.//L

Greetings Jason,I am 5'6" 210 lbs 44 shoulders 38 waist 16 1/2 neck. The suit fits me fine. I am thinking it may be a bit small for you, but then they are wet suits and need to be somewhat tight. I hope this helps. Check the return policy for size, I got mine super fast, so perhaps? Good luck! Jon

Yes, I'm a 38 waist, 42" chest. Should fit up to about 50" chest. keep in mind, the strap goes across your mid section, not your pants waistline.

I have a 50 chest size and it gives good coverage. Ties are quite long. Very good quality especially for price

I wear a 52" jacket and it is snug on me, but it will probably fit. It is tight but not too uncomfortable to wear.

Hen, you probably want it a little large to go over other wear. I'm 66" and stocky and an XL works great for me. Nice and loose but not too loose. My chest is about 44" so I'd say probably Med or large depending on how loose you want. I don't find mine too long even tho I'm short. U may find a large a little long. So, there you have it. Good Luck. Looser is probably better, my wife's wisdom. My wife who is 5'11" and bigger around than you wear's a men's medium (usually), so looser would be a large, but length. . .?

I am 36 in the chest and I still have room. It is very comfortable. And still a little loose not too tight. I am 5'4 about 145 hope this helps
