How well does this fit a man with a 42 waist and XXL shirts? I think my chest is 52 inches. Tight fit, OK fit?

It should range just about right. I'm 6'2" 250lbs, i had to exchange the vest a the zipper failed. Just sent them a photo, sure wished they use YKK zippers. Bill

It adjusts pretty well I am pretty large myself a 46 waist and again 6'7" it fits well on me and adjusts very well.

Its an OK fit. I have about same chest size. There are 3 adjustment straps on each of sides. With about 6 inches of adjustment.

i wear a size med-large shirt and a 34 waist and i have to tighten this thing all the way down and it is a lil loose still. with it all the way i have about 5+inches of adjustment strap left on both sides giving it a total of 10+ inches that it could expand out. so, with that being said i believe it would fit. my best friend tried it on and didn't have to loosen it all the way and he is about 5'10" 280lbs.

I am a 44 waist and prefer a xxxl shirt. I can wear some xxl, but prefer a little baggier fit. This vest fits me perfectly with a little left to spare on the adjustment straps. I highly recommend it for us bigger fellas.

it will fit the vest will fit you the belt will need to be adjusted and it's max Length is51 inches with ought any trouble although it will need to take a while to adjust and the chest max horizontal leingth is 52.5 inches so it would fit. you adjust this size by looking on the back of the vest next to the molle straps and the belt can be adjusted by looking on the inside it is Velcro and its pretty simple but if you don't like the belt it comes with you can use your own and thread it through oh and to adjust the height of the vest there are Velcro pads on the shoulders that stretch the overall leingth to 27 inches so this vest can fit like almost everybody.

Sorry im late to answer. I wear an XL loosely and I could stretch the straps pretty far out. I don't think you will have a problem fitting it.

I wear 34" waist w/ LG shirt, the vest has 6" of extra strap of each side. Expandable to in theory to 54" chest, it will probably fit. Amazon has a liberal return policy. For the price, go for it.

I might go with a large. If your waist is between 34-36 and chest is between 42-44 this will fit you properly.

I don't think so. My BF is 5'11" 205 bodybuilder type and wears Large and XL shirts. This was a little tight on him. So probably way too small for you.

No problem, we did extensive testing on men and women, and adjusts to almost any size, simple/effective design. I am 43 inch chest, and fits very comfortably, we don't need to take arm size into consideration.

I'm a male, 5'-9" with 40-inch chest, 30-inch waist (175cm tall, 101cm chest, 76cm waist). The small just fits OK with a thin shirt, but not with a sweater or parka.

I posted my measurements in my review for the 2XL size, I have a 54 inch chest and a 50 inch waist, I think that the 2XL size will be perfect for you, you can make adjustments top and bottom to fit your build. Additionally, both Amazon and 5.11 are amazing companies, both with work with you on any returns or size questions.

Fits tight across the chest... though not too tight and is out of the way and does not interfere with movement. I am 6'2" @200 lb. Must be worn over all clothing so unless you are really bundled up with foul weather gear I would think it should work well. Lots of videos on youtube.

I'm 5' 6" and my chest is 42". I have the size 14 and it fits snuggly. The size 16 might fit you best. You could order 2 sizes and return one after you try them both. Good luck!

I am a large guy 44 - 46 chest and the strap that was supplied still fits . It is a "M' for medium.

That should be good, unless you want it to fit skin tight. I have a 48 inch chest and wear a 36 waist pant and I had to get an XL to fit my shoulders. It is still snug enough.

It's elastic, so it does stretch to fit, but: Un-stretched with the straps fully let out it measures for a 42" chest. Stretched to the max with the straps let out all the way (which I would imagine would be quite uncomfortable) it could get up to 74" chest. The problem you may run into is that the should straps do not adjust super far, so it may ride slightly higher on your chest. Hope that helps!

Greetings Jason,I am 5'6" 210 lbs 44 shoulders 38 waist 16 1/2 neck. The suit fits me fine. I am thinking it may be a bit small for you, but then they are wet suits and need to be somewhat tight. I hope this helps. Check the return policy for size, I got mine super fast, so perhaps? Good luck! Jon

I am a female with a 38 chest but I have the small/medium. It works great. As another reviewer said you slide your arm through and tighten it. i think you might want to try the large/xlarge. Call the company and ask them.

I am a 3x and it does not fit over my shoulders. 2x its tight and 1x/smaller it fits nicely if you are a M/L then its going to be like a dress on you. Make sure to measure your chest to see it only fits a 48, i did not read this or do this and im a 52.

i am 6ft. 2in and extra large fit me fine. It is not too tight on my 44" chest so that is probably what you would want.

For 42, I did xxl and I had a very comfortable/loose fit. For length, you have specific length options.

I believe this will fit you fine, assuming your chest size is 26-40". These sizes are based on average build and do not restrict the chest area.
