There is just not a good fit for what you need. You can take a look at the man size or the youth size. I would go to the sporting goods department and try some on to make sure what is the best fit first then buy here.Youth Size: http://www.evo.com/wetsuits/oneill-reactor-3/2-wetsuit-kids.aspx#image=71520/341891/o-neill-reactor-3-2-wetsuit-kid-s-black-pacific-blue-black.jpgMen Size:http://www.evo.com/oneill-mens-wetsuit-and-rashguard-size-chart.aspx

It's not so much your height but your weight, and how many layers you plan to wear underneath the rain suit. I'm a few inches taller than you and I bought a Large, which is plenty big. I'd recommend a Medium for you.

I searched "Aqualung" and read up on the company and found the sizing on thier site. Hope that helps.

Fit, yes. Stay on while swimming? Probably not. Get cracked in a couple of uses? Most likely. Get the rubber one by finis. It's called the Foil monofin & beware that the XS is super narrow, so just get the size small Finis Foil. And if you want a mermaid looking rubber fin for about triple the price get a merfin in orange or blue.

My 8 yr old. ...55 lbs wears the small and i have to pull the shoulders tight. I don't remember if they have an XS or not but you might want to look for that. They are great for keeping them warm and dry.

I also am 240 and 5'8" and the xlarge I bought works fine wore it for over 20 dives and they will take it back .Just use a mixture of shampoo and water to make it easier to put on.

I am 5'9", 160lb, waist 34. I fit size medium or medium large wetsuit. You didn't mention your weight. My thought is that there may not be a wetsuit exactly fits you. However, my suggestion is that if your weight is heavier than me, you can choose medium large or large one, although it is much longer than you needed. But you can do something in your leg part and make it short.

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

Get what ever size you normally use. The suit its pretty good to size. If you buy Large then stick to that size.Plus they are pretty good with the exchange. I am 5'5 170lbs got the large & had to exchange to Med which is my usual size.

The child size may be better for him. I am 5'10" 180 athletic and it fits me big. a bit baggy. If you were to go for it. you could tie up the pants and sleeves by taking a row or 3 and folding it up a couple rows, and sew it there.. repeat if needed. I highly recommend this companies suit. Best i have had so far. some were up to 400$ nice quality. But this is best i have seen. Own 6^ paintball, air-soft, general sneakiness. BTW... suit has some sort of don't pay attention to me appeal(more than normal).. like less reflective? idk but works perfect. Enjoy.

All wetsuits give a bit of buoyancy, if they are made of neoprene. A full suit 4 mm suit floats me entirely. my legs float up so it is hard to swim. With thin shorts, your butt will ride higher in the water when you swim. But NO THE SHORTS WILL NOT FLOAT WHOLE BODY. they might help your stroke if you have a heavy butt, though!

i'm heavier and taller than you and the extra large worked for me, so i'm guessing you might want a large. you definitely don't want tri shorts to be too big b/c they slow you down and be uncomfortable in the water and on the run. however, i can't recommend these shorts b/c i did not like the fit at all and ended up returning them. i use a one-piece for triathlon and it works for me. of course, these might work for you - the price is definitely nice! good luck.

I like them to fit like a wetsuit which is pretty tight. You should have to "roll" it up off your back when you take it off. Sounds like you have the correct size.

Surfer couture, I am the exact same size as you and male. I wear a small super freak and fits very well. It is a good entry level chest zip wetsuit. Most other chest zip suits are more expensive. I have several wetsuits that are mens small and they fit someone our height and weight very well, whether male or female. Hope this helps.

I would say M. It's better to go smaller with wetsuits than too big! If it's slightly snug, it's OK -- but too big and you're going to be cold. Plus, they stretch.

Mine is size small and pretty large on me. (5'6", 140 lbs). I would have ordered XS but they didn't have it.

More than the weight, it's your chest size and height that should guide your decision. Go to the O'Neill website, in the menu bar at the top look for Collection > Wetsuits > Size chart. Although it's a chart geared for wetsuits, you can use it for vests by ignoring the second letter (S for short and T for tall). If your chest size is border line between 2 sizes, I'd go with the bigger size. You know it's not too big if it doesn't ride up your chest as you just sit bobbing in the water.
