How does this shirt fit for a big guy? My husband doesn't like tight fitting shirts and wears a 2x. He is 5'8 and approx 280. Would love some feedback

I'd consider looking at the ColdGear shirts that are labeled as "Regular" or "Loose" fitting if he doesn't like tight shirts. The "fitted" like this shirt is, is form fitting and is close to your skin (not baggy at all). You can probably find these on Amazon too, but here is the link to UA's regular and loose fitting ColdGear shirts since it is easier to filter for just those:http://www.underarmour.com/shop/us/en/mens/apparel/tops/longsleeve/loose/regular-fit/coldgear#products

I'm 6' 260 ..2x fits just about right for me...but I would say it's more snug ...I'm not really happy with the "warmness" of the garment...I've had better warmth with a heavy cotton tee and a good flannel actually....

It is a tight shirt but his regular size should fit him ok. Going an extra size never hurts.

I'm going to be quite thorough. I apologize in advance! To give you an idea of how a medium fit on me, I'll explain my build (Not to weird you out); I'm 5'6", 180, 32 Waist, broad shouldered "Athletic" build- I usually buy Medium shirts or 16" Collars for dress shirts. The Medium fit well and it wasn't baggy (It wasn't skin tight like under armor) If you prefer a more loose fit, I suggest you buy a next size up)

I'm 5'9" 208 lbs. and I bought the XL. This is a compression shirt so it will be tight. I prefer it that way. Good luck.

Hello Iesha, I have purchased 2 of these. One was for my husband he is 5ft 11inches tall @170 pounds and we got a size 48 and for myself 5ft 3in I got a men's 40. They both fit well with room to wear a sweatshirt under it. Note, the sleeve's are alittle long on both.

We have three in XL and one in the 5XL. We only use the tops not the pants. My son is 6'5", 260, broad shoulder athlete. I am busty but could probably wear the L, but I like the looseness (and its cheaper just to share the ones we have) Tight when working out is uncomfortable for me. We actually haven't opened the 5XL yet. My husband is a 3XLT, so to accommodate for liking it loose we ordered two sizes larger. They definitely make you sweat. Best to take off outdoors when you're done with your workout.I just noticed the reply below about the ripping/tearing. We've only had to replace ONE suit and I wash after every work out. I wash, use downy on the rinse cycle, and then hang to dry. We have three in XL and one in the 5XL. We only use the tops not the pants. My son is 6'5", 260, broad shoulder athlete.

X large worked fine for my husband. He is 6 feet tall with broad shoulders and a medium build. Hope that helps.

no my husband wears a XL and that is what I bought..it is so tight he can't wear it, my neighbor is 225 and bought a 2X and it is too tight on him too.

I am 6'4 and 230lbs. I wear the L and it is really tight as it is supposed to be. those are compression shirts!

I don't think so. My BF is 5'11" 205 bodybuilder type and wears Large and XL shirts. This was a little tight on him. So probably way too small for you.

My husband normally wears a med and I ordered a med and it fit him just a tad baggy so that way if it shrank in the wash he can still wear it. :) so I would say go his size or one size up for shrinking purposes. Good luck! I am really really happy with my husbands!

I'm about the same build, a little shorter, but roughly 240 and 36 waist...My recent purchase of KW products were all 2x and as far as shirts fit quite snug...Ultimately your decision, but I think the large may be a bit uncomfortable for you.

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!

I have a fairly large chest, pant size 36. I buy large and it's pretty snug but that's how I want this kind of shirt to be. Going off of the pants size I'd assume he's a little bigger than I am so I wouldn't go any less than XL. (If he wants it snug) I'd also suggest maybe going to a sporting goods store and trying them on then buying from Amazon.

Dave - how fat are you? I have a fat friend and he fits in it quite nicely. Snug. I think he's about 5'11" and weighs around 280lbs. Much more than that and you might need to upgrade! Good luck. Rich

I'm 5'8", 175, 42" chest and bought a large. The sleeves are a little long on me but the rest fits like a glove. I'd say a large for a snug fit or an XL if you like some room. IMO

I'm 5'7 and I got a medium and it fit really well. so i'm sure a medium would fit both you guys just fine.btw, nice work on being 5'4 and scoring a 5'9 wife... high five to you!!
