I'm 5'10" with a waist of around 46" (295lbs). Any recommendations for size? Will A4 be too long for me and if so, will A3 be too tight in the waist?

When I got mine I was 275 at 5'8" I got the A5 and just had the pants taken up, it's a little big but an A4 should work

Brian G., I would definitely follow the size chart but if you're in between sizes, or unsure, just go with the bigger size. You can always shrink it to your customized size. To shrink your Gi, in the dryer, do it in 4-5 minute increments and try it on as you go. Once you get the final fit, air dry it. Personally,this is the only time I use a dryer for my Gis as I just hang them and let them air dry. Good luck!

I think an A4 will be good. I'm 5'-9", 240 lbs, shoulder to shoulder across the chest is 24". I got a size A4 and the pants fit, but for the top, the area around my belly was a bit tight. Some companies offer a size A2H for stout builds, you may want to check that size out too. Size A3 will not fit.

I am 5' 10" , 210 lbs and the A3 was perfect for me. The pants should fit but I don't think a A3 top will fit you. Go bigger and shrink to fit.

I'm 5'9" at 150lbs. Based on the length you would need A2. My gi did not shrink too much. YMMV.

I am 6'3", and I wear a Large Regular. In other words 36Waist, 34 length.. I would recommend for you an X-Large. You have to remember if the BDU Trousers are loose, the are draw straps on each side of the belt area, that you pull, and the pants tighten. Definitely 36 length, and your true waist size. I hope I helped. There should be a chart to consult, if memory serves correctly. Your buddy, Commander James Russell, United States Navy, Semi-Retired.

I am 6" even and 188lbs I got a A2 fit good pants were big i mean reall big but very roomy. I think a A2 would work Maybe a A3 if you have monkey arm like me. Remember if you wash it in hot water and hot dry it will shrink. Hope this helps

Hey Steve - I'm a 33 waist and I bought a large. They fit tight, but they are supposed to. You just have to get used to wearing a second set of skin - HA! I love mine.

I found them to be a perfect fit. I am between a 34 and a36. I ordered 34 and with the expandable waist they fit great.

I got the Large sized belt as someone else who wears a 38" waist said M was way to tight. I wear a 36" waist pants and the L was perfect for me. I am 6'0 225lbs and I would say I am fairly lean and muscular. It fits me very well, and I actually just did 315lbs deep as to grass squats with it last night. Worked perfectly.

I'd suggest M/R (medium waist, regular length) if you like your ACU to be a bit loose -or- S/R if you want it tighter. But honestly you should get a tape measure and check your actual waist/inseam and pick from the very wide range of fit options and ACU /BDU has to offer. Good luck.

The A1 would be comically small. Probably the A2 for that matter. The idea would be for sleeves to reach the wrists and for pants to reach the ankle area and with your height, only the A3 of those choices is likely to do that. There is a drawstring on the waist of the pants and a belt on the Gi. You will be good with an A3.

I'm 5' 11" with a 32" waist and I got myself sized at a M/L. However when the guy at REI sized me up, he did mention that the sizing varies depending not just on height and waist but also the actual torso length. But my advise would be to walk into a nearby outdoor store and get yourself sized before you buy it online, Then again, given that M/L is as big as you can go that's probably your best bet anyways. Hope this helps!

I'm 5'9" and 165. I think there is plenty of strap for another 3". If you go up a size it will be hard to get a snug fit at the waist and legs. My 30" waist in winter clothes is almost as small as the waist wants to go.

my waist measures 36 and the XL was too Large for me so I sent it back. But have been thinking of getting Large. good luck let me know what your decide.

Yes, At least for a person like me and a bit bigger. I have a 42" waist and I would say a person up to 46" would be fine.

As a 5'5" female I wore a Small when I weighed 115 -125lbs but at 135-145 a medium fits better. For a male I think I'd look at the Men's specific models because I think the waist to hip ratio would be different and you could end up with a very tight and uncomfortable waist with a women's model. If you are going for the women's 3/4 tight because the length would be better I'd definitely go medium - small is quite small and snug.

The 4XXL may be a good fit for you. I ordered it by accident and exchanged for the 2XXL which is a good fit for me at 190 lbs.

I'm 6'3 180lbs and have a 33-34 waist. I get the size large/ long length in these pants and they fit great! I would think a size medium or large waist with the regular length should be a good fit for you. Hope this info helps

Robin, I ordered a extra large for a 46" waist and it seems to be a little small. If I were you I would go for a medium. You can always pull it tighter.........
