I'm 5'10" and about 210- Which size is best for me? A3 or A4? Anyone around my size with one or the other?

I'm looking for an answer to this as well. I'm 5'10" and 185lb. Most of the people answering questions here are in the 170lb range. I have a Fuji gi and the A4 top fits just right, but the A4 pants are kind of loose. Everyone here seems to think the pants run large, so what I would really like is to get an A4 top and, maybe, A3 pants. I wonder if anyone sells like that.

When I began I was 6'2" and 223lbs . I purchased this Gi in A5 and had to shrink the top immediately. However an A4 was slightly snug but in hindsight would have been a good fit. Currently at 6'2" and 195 an A4 fits very well. (I still wear my A5 and the pants are pretty big on me, top is Loose even after shrinking ) I would say u could go A4 and shrink it or A3 possibly (might get snug after first wash) : if this is your fighting weight I may get an A4. Sounds like with that height/wight u may be thick so in that case I would stay with an A4 you will probably need to hem your pants.

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

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.

Going with the slightly bigger gi will allow you to shrink it a bit. I wear an A3 and it's a bit big, tried an A2 and it was too small to roll in comfortably.

I'm 5' and weight about 130, so I would think maybe a 6. only because you want it to be a little roomy and not too tight. So if it's too small, that's it, because there's no stretch to it whatsoever. But if you are a more built person and more fit and lean, then you would do good with a 5. If it helps, In men's shirts for a comfy fit, I wear a medium. I hope that helped~ :)

I would suggest a tall large. I am 5"10 and a regular large is perfect. Be safe rather than sorry go for the tall.

I got the "snakeskin"4 and it fits great. It shouldn't matter too much, but this is your safest option in my opinion.

I'm heavy, 200+, and wish I would have gone with the 10". I hate the 12", no good support at all. Woman at customer service at Lucid said the 10" would have been better. Hope this helps.

5'10, the 3x would be better. I'm 5'8 210 and the xl is very snug in the crotch, I'm ordering the 2x TODAY. I gave the xl to a female friend who is as tall as I.

I am a 34 A/B and the 21 mm fit me. Therefore I think 27 mm size is probably be best for you. If not Amazon has a great return policy.

I would go with small, thats about the size I was dealing with, been on a couple weeks no problem! Hope this helps .

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.

When I purchased, I stood back from a 50 and a 52. It was amazing to me how much larger the 52 seemed from a distance of 10-12 feet. I went with the 52.

That's 5 Feet and almost 8 inches and about 165lbs. I'm just a little bigger than that. I use an A2 but it's a little big for me. So you could probably go A1, depending on how much you think you might grow. My Gi is shrinking a little after 6 months of weekly use and washings, but it's still big for an A2.

Dani - what did you end up going with? I'm around 5'7", about 210 and 9 shoe, so interested to see what worked for you!

That's about 176 pounds and just under 5 feet 8 inches tall. You're between an A1-A2. My son is 180 pounds and is 5 feet 11 inches and he wears an A3. It fits him really well.

I'm a40 chest with short arms. I ordered the medium and find it perfect in winter with 3 layers, but without the liner it's way too big for my frame in the summer. I'm in VA, and travel by bike, so my temp range is anywhere from 20Fahrenheit to 90 degrees. I wish I had been able to try the small, but I'm usually between sizes anyway.I'm not sure if that answers your question. I would guess that a medium would fit up to a42 chest size, with the liner. Amazon and Milwaukee both have excellent return policies, regardless.
