my son is 140 pounds and 14 years old. What size should I order?

Basing it off of my now 155 lb daughter, I would say get the 110 kb-158 lb size. Yes, you want them to be able to grow into them, but if they are too big and inflexible, they won't be any fun at all.

Hi Kimberly,I forgot to say that my son LOVES them and we are extremely happy with them on all levels. As long as you have grassy areas that he can run and play in they will be used.

You order by weight. My son was borderline so went went the the higher weight so he could use them longer.

Hi Kimberly, I purchased these for my son in the spring, he was 12 and appx 110 lbs. I figured he'd keep growing. His friends had the "youth" size and he already was at the max. The springs work based on your weight. We decided to get the adult ones and we are happy with that decision. He can now use these for years to come and you don't have to worry about reaching the max weight and needing a bigger size. My son is at the low end of the weight scale for his and he will be able to use them for years. The adult ones are heavier duty then the kids size. I hope that helps. I understand it is an investment and you want to get the right size for now and in years to come.

Size Medium should be good. My Wife is 140 Pounds, and 5' 3" Tall and Medium was a little big on her.

Since this item costs a considerable amount, I'd go with the 158lb & up. It will take you a while to get used to them and you'll have them for years to come. My son is 6'2" and 147 pounds and wears/plays with his periodically and has no complaints. Plus, his heavier friends can use them without concern of overweight limits and breaking.

my son is 5'10" and 130lbs and I ordered him a medium and it fit great; I suggest that you order a Large.

It is the junior version so it should fit, my son is 5 10 and 140 lbs and he just grew out of it.

My son ordered a medium, he is 5"9 150. It fits him comfortably, this would fit him loosely if that is what he likes.

From my own personal experience, a 17" would be an x-large, the 15" would be a large and the 13" would be a small/medium. I am 6' 225 lbs and wear the 17", my son is 5' 7" 170 lbs and he wears the 15". They fit well and have a good range of adjustment.

I think he is borderline, he might be able to squeeze in for a little bit before outgrowing soon, esp. if he is tall. I bought XL pairs for my two kids. My daughter is almost 13 but about 82 pounds and short at about 5 feet. She can wear these pretty perfectly. The younger kid is even shorter but weighs more, like almost 90 pounds, and I don't think he's tried them yet but I think it will be a squeeze and he can only wear them this year. For your son, I agree, adult Men's sizes are way too big, the only other option he might have is a women's size XS if you do not risk the Kids XL.

It will be perfect, no too big. But he will have some growing room. My son is 11 also and in a 10/12. I think the large is the right size to get. My son loves it! And he is picky about how things fit:-)

I would guess a size 3 would work well but buying a 3 and/or 4 and trying it is the best way to find out, and return the one you don't take of keep them both if the 3 fits and you have the 4 for when he grows into it. Otherwise return both, but the other answers are correct to look at the O'Neill site and make sure the height is right. If it is too loose it will let cold water in and circulate, if it is too tight it will be very painful and useless. It is a great wetsuit for the toddlers, best I ever saw. BD

Question unclear. Did you mean to say would any size "work" for a 14 year old? I'm 6-3 200 pounds and an XL is big enough for me. I would think a medium would fit many 14 year olds.

Exactly my son's age and weight almost identical. I ordered the xlarge roomy yet not too lose.

My son is 8yr old and weighs about 52 lbs. He's tall and skinny. I got him a medium. And it fit perfect. It was super cold here for Halloween and he had on 2 shirts underneath. I hope this helps.

Our son is 9yrs old,4'6'' and the size 14 is a little big but the suit sizes do run a bit small,,,,,,, I'd probably grab the next size up !!!!

My son is 14, 5'5" and 115 lb. The vest goes just below his waist and the adjustable straps (for going around his body) are as snug as possible. We think the vest should fit you.

My 3 year old son 27 lbs and 36 inches wears a size 1. He is a skinny kid with no body fat. It is a little short in the arms/legs (could be a inch or two longer) but zips easily over the torso. If you look at the other questions and answers, I posted a link to the size chart.

I think a small would be okay. My son was about 5'8 and 130 lbs when I bought it and he's now 6'1 and 150 and the shirt still fits. He is slim.
