My husband is 5'9 and 155#. He normally gets a size large Elite std short. Not familiar with bibs. Most responses seem to point toward a medium.

The most important fit is in the shorts. If he is a large usually then I would suggest a large in the bibs also.

I would say a medium. A large would be a tiny bit baggy. Check how he fits in the large standards he has just to make sure.

I'm 6-1 and 175 lb and the large fits well. Based on his hgt I'd suspect the medium would fit better.

Medium should be fine, just remember that it is close fitting so if you like room in your waders you might want to go with Large. I am 5' 8", 190 and I got a large.

Well as a reference, I ordered a medium for my boyfriend and it's big on him. He's 5'10 and 160 lbs. The medium would definitely be at least too long on you

George, I agree with the two previous comments. I also have a pair of the Printed 1" Elite Split Leg Running Short - Liberty Size- Medium. Oddly enough the size is a medium but the waist-to-split is about 1/2 inch longer... I also have tried SOARK brand shorts. I 've 2 pair one large and one medium and for my 5'10' 180 frame the large was a bit flappy the rise is to long and the medium did not fit right. Others have suggested shorts from Skinz, N2N, Suzi Fox or even Liquidvinyl. All have 3/4 or full split running shorts with shorter rises.

I am 5"10" 230 lbs. and I went with the xxl suit. It is a tad big but gives me room to move around and add more layers of clothes if needed.You may want to go with the xl, the bibs fit me perfect and the coat is a tad big but not bad at all.I have NEVER gotten cold in this suit with minimal clothing and some pretty severe weather. You are going to love it!

My husband is 5'6". He is 170 lbs. WE bought medium short stout and they fit perfectly. The straps are adjustable. So I would guess you would wear medium short.

I wear women's 2x and am 5'5 and purchased xxl short stout. And have room to layer. These waders are awesome. You won't be dissapointed.

Hi, I´m 5'9" and 140 lbs. I bought an Adult Medium (Size 4) and it's perfect for me. I suppose you are 38S in a business suit. If that is the case, Adult Medium Size 4 is my recommendation. Regards!

I recommend a medium, thats what my husband wears and he's your size. I'm about a 28-32 and a small does me just fine :)

Dani I am 5'6" and weigh 198. I bought the Xl Short Plus and I love them. As far as the shoe size I too wear and 8 1/2 but they told me all the shoe sizes are the same you just pull them up on your heel and put them in your boot. I was not real sure about that but it works fine. I think I ordered a size 9 boot. I have worn silk underwear under mine and I have worn light thermals with Columbia fishing pants over the thermals and have plenty of room in them. Hope this helps and if you do decide to order hope you enjoy them as much as I have. One other thing we called and ordered ours and the lady we talked to was very helpful.

I have basically the same measurements, but am only 5'4". I tried on the bibs last night to double check length and they are a couple inches long in the legs and I also have the straps adjusted as short as they will go, so they should most likely fit you.

No! Stick with the medium....I sm 5'6" 155 and thick legs....looking at tbe medium just out of the package, I thought No way!!! Glad I stuck with the mediums - they are perfect!!!

A large should work perfectly. My husband is 5'10" 190 lbs & his large fits great.

Nicoal, I am a 5' 9", 150 lb male and I have a Medium that fits quite well. I would say a Medium for your husband, but it depends on his full measurements. I hope that helps.

Hi sorry I took so long to get to you I am 5'9" and weigh 186 I purchased the large I like how it fits it's just a little too short for me and a got a little snug after washing ( I throw them in the washer) I'd say get the x-large for him since men I think won't like snug fitting stuff, and if he can he should wear something underneath just because of the sweating

Personally I would get the medium. I have a 7 pd chi, and even tho he has plenty of room, it is nice to have extra. Better to have more room then not enough.
