I am 5 9 234 lbs with a 42 to 44 in waist. I need to get down to at least a 38 inch waist. Will this suit help me if so what size?

Unfortunately I wasn't able to experience it. I bought the 5xl and it didn't fit. I returned it and they claim they never got it. So I lost out on my money and then suit. But best of luck.

If yur top heavy get one size up from what u wear. If yur bottom heavy get 2 sizes up. And yes u will sweat and lose inches

My waist is 38" and I ordered 36-42. It fits well. If you have a LARGE belly you might want tomeasure above your navel an order to fit that size.

I have a 33" waist and I bought the medium size. It's perfect for me but for someone with a much larger waist it would be hard to use. I'd guess for a waist of maybe 40" or less the medium would be good and for bigger, the large would be good.

Albert: I am 6'5" 230. I ordered the "XX large" and it fit great. The sides of the vest completely break apart and attach by Velcro, making it easy to increase/decrease circumference fit. My waist is 42" and there is PLENTY of real estate on the 2X to increase from 42" up. Great vest, tons of Molly straps. The only thing I would suggest is looking for a belt loop apparatus to connect the vest to your waist so when you sit in a vehicle the vest doesn't raise up. I found that annoying, but maybe that's just me. I let a family member use it for a while and they loved the vest and didn't know what I was talking about! Hope this helps

Yes you should be fine. I'm 5"4 and about 135 lbs and mine is a small and it fits just fine I love this suit. I'm a swim instructor so I use it everyday.

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.

I think you should be, I'm 5'11, 205, 36 waist, and when I got it, I had to loosen it about 2 inches in the back straps (chest adjust) and loosen like four inches in the belt......so basically this vest fully tightened should be tight and right on you.....and if you're still growing you'll have enough room to keep this for a longgg while.

My waist is 38-40" and it fits fine. I bought the large. It is velcro, so there is some room for adjustment.

Possibly the smaller. I am 5.2 and 140 and I use the 42 inch. It seemed big at first but the larger size makes it easier to keep going. I have lost several inches from my waist .

I am tall with 40 in.waist, weigh much more than you, and the medium fits very well. However, due to my height I may have a longer waist, which means my hips are further away from the smallest part of my waist, so don't know if that makes a difference.

Yes, I'm a 38 waist, 42" chest. Should fit up to about 50" chest. keep in mind, the strap goes across your mid section, not your pants waistline.

This will fit, but it will probably be much too loose to provide the support needed. This is intended for much larger waist sizes, probably like 48-70. I would recommend trying the regular size first.

I am 5.11 180 lbs... size 30 waist.... i have to snug the belts on the side almost all the way... my guess is it will fit... this fits me perfect with alot of room to expand... so it should fit... ooh and once u break it in it will loosen up for a better fit...but i believe there is two different sizes on this vest.. M/L and XL/2XL. I have the M/L and i love this rig...almost all pockets adjustable and great for day trips or grab and go situations... i keep it fully loaded and hangin in my closet with a heavy duty hanger...

I am 6 foot 2 tall and 190 lbs with about 3-4 inches more in waist than 10 years ago at the same weight. I use to wear a 32 waist in Levi's Jeans, now a 36 waist is baggy but the 34's are too tight. I have a very slight belly. I wear this around my naval area and it stretches, I would think it would fit a true 36 inch to 37, possibly a 38 inch waist. I know the tighter the fit the more it will pull in your gut and your lower back. The length of the brace is 39 inches long laid out flat UN-stretched and stretched I easily got it to 46 -47 inches. I hope that helps you make a better educated decision to buy or not to buy this Mr. Firtel. I am 6 foot 2 tall and 190 lbs with about 3-4 inches more in waist than 10 years ago at the same weight.

Gosh, sizing on this product I think is a bit tricky. I have read that lots of people have had trouble, as did I. I am 5'11", 180lbs, and I got a 2XL, which now seems quite foolish. It is way too big. I think a better size for someone around my height would probably be a Large or an XL, but I swim in the one I got. My waist is about 34 inches or so, and my build is quite average. Not nearly enough to fill that jacket out. Hope that is helpful.

i m a 38 waist so i got a medium. but i m expecting my waist size to drop into the proper zone for the medium belt which is actually a little small! theres just very little room to spair. it fits me pretty much perfect though!
