It was more about the length for me. I'm 5'10" and wish the large was a little bit longer, mostly because I also use it for skiing/boarding.

If you go to 5.11 Tactical's Home page and scroll to the bottom, there is a link to click on called Size Charts, but I'm not sure if this chart holds true to these shirts. It has been my experience that these shirts run pretty true to size and they are made for a snug fit, similar to under armor. Hope this was helpful.

I used the size chart next to the order sized field. I chose LARGE for my boy per the numbers in the size chart, i.e. chest, general size, waist and sleeves. After trying it on, my son and I come to to same conclusion, too tight and the sleeves were too short. I could have re-order XL, but since I have to pay shipping both way, I didn't want to take more chances. This trying experience costs me $30 in shipping and I am still waiting for my refund.

I can tell you what experience has taught me.These shirts are meant to be a bit snug;not take your breath away snug but a little bit as to improve performance.So for instance where I normally wear an XL I'd go for a large and so far that's worked for me.Hope that helps.Best of luck with everything!

Hi Elizabeth :)I thought that mine, i ordered a large, was just a bit snug. Im 6' and 200lbs. I think i would have been better off with an extra large. However the Jacket its self is Great.

I am sorry I may not be of much help as I use an XL Shirt but bought a XXXL jacket because that was al available at the time. It was way way too big. I only use it with a Alpinestar bionic jacket under. I missed it. But because of its weight I am not willing to buy again. I live in Nigeria so shipping it back for a replacement is not an option, it will be cheaper to buy another than return the one I have already. Hope it helps you.

I'm 6' 230 lb and the 2XL fits me just right. So I would say an XL. I wear XL shirts but had to go 1 size up for the jacket. So whatever size shirt you wear I would say go one up. Regular shirt size, not muscle shirt size lol.

I would go with the xl as they are coats for big and tall people and the 2xl would seem to be a little too loose..you will have plenty of room to wear a nice sweater under it,and eel comfortable with it......it is a big coat!!!!!

I'm 6'2" / 240 and wear XXL I suggest XL... But maybe order 2 sizes and return the one other... It's a good suit!

I think I understand your question...the best way I can answer it is: they run small and fitted, especially in the waist/hip area where the jacket comes down to. So if you normally take a XL for example...you must order a XXL or 2X!!! They come in S,M,L,XL,XXL and XXXL. If you own a "BEER GUT" you'll never be able to zip it...even if it fits every other parts of waist up! I love mine and it fits me perfectly! I ordered one (1) size larger than I normally take and it was/is right on! I live outside of Buffalo NY, and our weather fluzuates terribly and I'm warm w/a hoodie underneath in 35 degree weather and w/out the hoodie in the mid 40's to low 50's. I hope this is helpful.

I wear a large in anything short sleeved and an XL in anything long sleeve. I have monkey arms. This is one of he first UA shirts that was baggy in the torso. Everything I have purchased from UA fits true so I don't know if maybe it was just this particular shirt this time.

I prefer to put it on under my jacket, but over an undershirt. For your size I would strongly recommend at least a large, or an XL. I would guess that you're between those two sizes, so I suggest you use the larger XL. Keep in mind that if you want to wear this over a jacket, the jacket will add a size or two.

I'm sorry I didn't see your email sooner. I am just about your height and weight and I got an X-Large. I can wear a med weight sweater with no problem.( The jacket runs small this is why I got an X-Large otherwise I would have gotten a large) Anyway this jacket is so toasty warm you really don't need to wear sweaters under it..Beautiful jacket..Love it!!!!!

The XXL and XL extreme are black..I see your description says medium. All the medium, large, and small ones I've seen have been red; maybe the wrong image?

I'm actually the same size (though you have a bit lower BF percentage) and I have found the XL to be comfortably snug for workouts. If you want to play it safe, go for the 2XL, but I wouldn't go higher than that. My XL extends about 8" below my waist, so length should be ok for you.

I will answer your question with another question; how do you want the jacket to fit? I am 5'8" and 180 lbs. I ordered a Large because I got the impression that the jacket ran small. I received it, and it was way too big. If you want the jacket to fit you nice and snug, get the size you usually get in clothing. I usually get a Medium and should have gotten a medium.
