HI: I am 5' tall and have a 36" bust. Although I wear usually a size 4 in pants I am muscular. Wanted to know if anyone has insights about this

This jacket would be more likely to fit you if your bust was 26". It is not an adult-sized PFD. Congratulations, though.

36" is right inbetween medium and large. Keep in mind these jackets will fit extremely snug initially. After you wear it and get it wet, the jacket will expand about 10-15%. You don't want too large as it'll ride up and you risk it slipping off. I absolutely hated mine when I tried it on and still hated it the first time out. After the 2nd and 3rd times it actually did fit like a glove. Neoprene is supposed to be tight. Nylon jackets fit more on the looser side.

This jacket runs small. We bought a medium and I wear between a 6 and 8. Should have gotten a large. I am a 36 bust and it was snug. Definitely get the medium if not a large.

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!!

I believe that you should buy the large. I'm 5'1" with a 41" bust and bought an XL which is very comfortable.

I am 5'4" as well and this comes to about the breast on me. I will just say that if you were to go shirtless but pull the hair forward you would be covered. Lol!

Hi. I'm 5 ft 11 inches @ 165lbs. I purchased the large and it is definitely a bit snug, especially in the shoulders and chest. I would recommend purchasing a size larger than what you normally wear from Columbia or other manufacturers.

I'm 6'4" and 236. It fits me a little tight, but I can get into it just fine. You should fit a little better. Tight fit made it easier to get in and out of the BC, etc.

Hi I have the same height and chest..it fits me perfectly ..i don't have a gut so it stretches past waist line...rides up a bit when I run the hills..but other than that it's great

Hi David O. I have a longer sort of muscular body, and I'm 6 ft/185. My hands aren't big and lumberjacky, my fingers are more slender. I first ordered a size 2 and it was very tight. Judging on the snugness of this, I immediately came back and ordered a size 4 which fit me perfectly. Hope this helps saves you some back and forth hassle. I could have used this kind of advice, so that is why I included so much information about my body type--I wasnt trying to act lascivious, heh heh. I wish you a speedy recovery as well.

I'm 5'6" too. I originally got the medium, and a few months later I ended up ordering the large, probably because I have longer legs than some my height.

I suggest you go to a sporting goods store and get measured. They consider more than just your height. I got measured first then purchased standard but I am 5'5". I think there are at least 3 measurements to factor in. Be safe and take the time to get measured first.

Hmmmm i weigh 138pounds,5 feet 4 inches,medium built,my waist(along my belly button)is 31inches,my chest is 38inches(while exhaling)and this shirt is waaaaaaaaaay way way to large for me,i ended up selling this item. The quality is perfect but the size is very unfit for me...i hope this answers your question

I am 5'2", with 34DDs and long legs. Not long torso. I find with TYR swim suits I wear an 8 rather than a 6 as I might expect. The size 8 fits me perfectly. I cannot recommend this suit highly enough especially with the adjustable straps. Go for it!

Those things are tricky. I'm 5'1", 121 lbs, 38 hips, 34 chest and wear a size 2, small. It fits just right, with no room to spare. However, I've bought and returned small and mediums from other brands because they were either too tight around the hip and/or too big around the chest. I would go with a medium if your chest is bigger than mine. Good lucky.//L

I'm 5'8", 190 Muscular and the XL fit me. However, I believe the legs may be a bit short on your husband.

Here are my thoughts. I'm a 32" waist and a 42" chest. I only weigh about 158-160 lbs. However, I'm 5'10". The legs definitely aren't an issue on the suit since it comes only below the knee (not a full leg suit). I think the medium is right for your waist and shoulders also. Are you (forgive me for putting it this way) "only 5'5" because of a shorter torso or shorter legs? If you simply have short legs, then the medium would probably still be perfect. However, if your legs are longer and your torso is shorter, it might be only a slight issue. All that said, given your chest and waist, the small would still probably be constricting. I'd say to contact the seller in advance and tell them your concerns. That's exactly what I did and they were tremendously helpful (and right) about the sizing.

I can't comment on differences between s and m but I am 5'7', 34C bust and size 6 waist and the medium fits absolutely perfect. It isn't too tight in the arms and I can put a long sleeve under it for running or wear a regular biking jersey under it comfortably.

I am currently 5 foot 5 and 143 pounds 34DD. I bought a medium. I prefer the snug fit.
