I am 5'8" tall also. When I ordered mine in 2011 I weighed 215 lbs and I ordered a large which fit really tight. I did some modifications to it and it now fits me. Your height and weight I would order an xlarge at least. Hope this helps.

I just looked on the O'Neill website. You would be a size 8 based on your weight. You take the larger size based on height and weight

I am 5'4" 145 pounds and I use a size 4 if that helps. they have elastic at the ankles so that should help for the height part.

I would say XL. I am 180 & 5'8" tall & the Large fits me close. Bigger is better. Easier to put on & take off!

You could probably go either way. You want it snug so a med. might be better unless you think you might gain a little around the waist and grow out of it. I'm 5'11" 215 and large is a good fit. I'm going to order another one of these. They are cool.

I am 5'4" and weighed 150 lbs. when I bought the medium. It was very snug. The top got looser when I lost weight so I just used the drawstring. If your legs are very thick, I would go with the large.

I am 5'8 176lbs and large fits me well (i lift weights). So medium should fit you. However, a reviewer gave me advice that worked perfectly. He said to buy the suit that is the same size as your t shirts. My t shirts ard large (42-44) chest.

Probably a large. My son is 6'3" and 230lbs ish and the extra large works for him. He just prefers to wear it a day and give out a break a day. You really feel the help in your posture.

I'd go with a L. I'm 6'2" 195, and I wear a L. It has a really long trunk, so you could be 6'6" and wear an L, as long as you aren't too wide.

I am 6' and 180 and bought a large. It is snug. I would try an extra large, depending on how your weight is distributed.

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.

I'm 5'9 and 154lbs the medium is perfect, meaning if I was a bit taller or heavier it would be too tight.. I think you should go for a bigger size, just take in mind that the suit should be tight, otherwise you'll get cold washes more often.

I went with the XL at 6'2" and 285 lbs. and it fits great. Hope that helps you decide.

I would go with a 6 and perhaps a 4, depending on your waist and hip measurement. These run quite large. My size 8 is 23" long and sits below the waist.

If you are an average size person, a medium is going to do just fine. The straps are adjustable and there are numerous straps adjust to individual body frames and preferences. I'm 5'8 and 185 pounds just as a reference point. Also, if you go on their website, they have some sizing information. Hope this helps.

I'm 2 inches taller than you and 44 pounds heavier, and a large fits me nicely. I'd suggest you go with a medium.

I got my husband, who is.5'8" and probably closer to 200 pounds a size 5 I believe. like a karate pants, he's had to get these hemmed too.
