Anybody, would you recommend this vest for a male, 5'4" tall and weighs about 145lbs?

Definitely ! The beauty of the short style is that works for both short and tall folks. The fit is great even for doing sprints.

Sure! It's a great vest,,,, it's adjustable so you can start lightweight,,,, and add weight as needed,,,,,I highly recommend this one,, if you're going to invest in a good quality weight vest,,

absolutely. it holds up to 50lb but there are removable weights so you can use less than 50lb when desired

I haven't actually worn mine and it is up for the winter, but I think that the sides are adjustable. I was advised by my friend who I tried on in September when it was blazing hot and his fit, that it is suppose to be worn snug. His was so nice and cool and the weight of the vest eased the tension in my neck. I weigh between 150 and 190 and ordered L/XL. Tried it on when I got it. Fit fine. Am looking forward to wearing mine this summer.

I bought two of these for my 10 & 11 year old grandsons. The vests have a wide range of adjustments and I am sure it would work for you. They are 85 & 95 lbs and at first the vest seemed to big, but they were able to adjust it down to fit them.

Yes! I am 5'3 and it works great. I ended up cutting the straps and sewing it. It shrinks to a great size and doesn't hinder a female at all. I love this vest!

Hi Emmett, I am 5' 2". the length is not a problem. But it may be "slightly loose. It has alot of adjustment in it.My only concern is if there is enough closure on the sides. You one skinny dude.I would recommend the UTG SWAT vest for you. It is more suited for smaller frames like you. BUT the holster is sewn on and not removable like the Modern warrior vest is.I hope this helps.D. Lawrence

Your height and weight is more important than your age, I'm 5' 10" & 210 pounds, but I think this vest might fit someone as small as 5' 6" and 130 pounds. Better to get an actual answer from someone with a small frame. Good luck!

I don't think that this is the vest for you then. It's perfect for over a thermal, but an insulated jacket may be a bit much. Also, it will flop around too much if not fastened on the sides.

Large would be fine Heidi...you wouldn't want a vest that was too tight...mine fit perfectly and sounds like I am the same size as your husband...

I haven't used the lighter versions of this specific weight vest, however people often tell me the vest looks small for 60lbs. Hope this helps with your question.

I tried on a long type vest and a short type vest at Dicks Sports before buying, I would suggest to do the same first before deciding. But, I like the short vest because it seems to put more weight on your shoulders, chest and upper back where the longer vest put a little more pressure on the lower back and not so much on the upper section of your back.

I think it would work great for paintball (I play paintball) because this vest is so adjustable you can ajust it for length and width so you can have it a bit tight if you want I use it for 3-gun competitions and I'm sprinting and jumping over things all the time during that. So I think it would work well for what you want.

Hard to say. My opinion after trying several different vests and buying the wrong one originally, is they are very personal in shape and features and putting a few different models on with weight in them makes all the difference. In just a few seconds you can tell what works for you based on how it rides with weight in it. I'm 6", 185#, 33" waist, 42" chest and the L/XL is about perfect. The internet says the following: SIZING AT RIBCAGE (UNISEX) S/M: 30.5 - 33.5 in. / 78 - 85 cm L/XL: 33.5 in. + / 85 cm + Note: Measure wearing the clothes you intend to wear. Size down if in-between sizes. From here: http://www.ultramarathonrunningstore.com/Nathan-VAPORWRAP-Race-Hydration-Vest-p/vaporwrap.htm

It may be a little big, but it should be ok. My husband is about 5'9" and 135lb and it fits him with a little room...it is adjustable also

Yes, a very good friend of mine is about that and very petite as well. It fits fine-normal adjustment belt for around the body.This is the most comfortable "vest" I have worn over the years. So light weight, I wear it all the time as I boat alone very often.

it might be..im only 5'2" and wear a size 10 slacks...the medium size fits me...so i think that the XL should be ok..the vest is not that form fitting

You should be fine, but if you have narrow shoulders don't plan on doing any over head lifts with this vest. The vest is very much adjustable. I out-weigh you by 50lbs, but I'm only 5'8.

My husband is 6'2" and weighs 170, and we got the Large. I'd try the Large. It fits quite snugly. I think it'll be fine. If not, Amazon is very good at exchanging. Just rewrap and send back. Then reorder. They credit your account as soon as UPS scans the bar code. When we exchanged the shirt for the vest, the turnaround was very quick.
