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.

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 am 6'3" and have a 46" chest and a 36" waist, I bought the XL. It fits well. I can wear a polarfleece hoodie underneath, but it is snug. There are velcro straps on the side, but only to make it 1-2" smaller. XXL would have been better for me to add layers underneath, weather in Canada in the Rockies is so much cooler than south of the border . The arms might be snug, but if you're removing the sleeves...I think it looks cool without sleeves.

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 Albert: I am 6'5" 230.

Should be fine - I'm 5'7" and works perfect, but it is adjustable for where you want the gear to 'ride' on your torso. As someone else said, this is military grade, and I was EXTREMELY PLEASED with mine. Great price. Would recommend to my friends to get.

I'm 5'10'' 42 chest avg build and the med/reg fits perfectly. The large will prob give you a little more arm length and body room.

I think a Medium will be perfect for you. It actually works for a wide range of weights - 15 - 70 pounds. I hope you like it as much as I do!

Hen, you probably want it a little large to go over other wear. I'm 66" and stocky and an XL works great for me. Nice and loose but not too loose. My chest is about 44" so I'd say probably Med or large depending on how loose you want. I don't find mine too long even tho I'm short. U may find a large a little long. So, there you have it. Good Luck. Looser is probably better, my wife's wisdom. My wife who is 5'11" and bigger around than you wear's a men's medium (usually), so looser would be a large, but length. . .?

Hi...I think that should work, but there a lot of variables when it comes to fit. I found the med large for my frame/weight worked fine. It does need to be snug and it will stretch a lot. And, if it doesn't fit you can always return it for a different size like I did. Good luck.

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.

The chest is perfect but I've got a barrel chest... However the gut area seems to be huge... I'm 5'9" 210 and had to return my XL for an L. It still feels like i can fit a small midget in there, makes putting gear in the pockets or a vest underneath very comfortable.

I'm 5'11" 170 lbs and got the large. I have it tightened pretty small. Depending on your actual chest measurement-I would stick with a med. They are really popular right now and all sizes may not be available. Totally worth the wait or check out their homepage.

I wear a xl and it adjusts to fit you perfectly, it takes a bit of time to get it just right but when you do it's worth every penny. 4x should be no problem for this vest

I bought one of these holsters - beautifully made - a bit stiff but can be softened with Neat's-foot oil. I'm only a large in the chest - looking at the straps, I cannot imagine it fitting a 4 large. Sorry.

If your chest measurement is no more than 42, size large will easily be sufficient. You need to get t to fit tight enough to do the most good. As to your height, the large will be plenty long. These things run long. I'm shorter than you are and mine is almost too long. Good luck. Hope this helps Remember to wash it in cold water and hang up to dry.

Did you ever receive a response to this? From one of the reviews on the FT7, the person said he believed a bigger strap would be better for chest sizes bigger than 44". It would be nice if they put the min / max limits in the description! I found the following helpful: Polar Soft Strap Set (XXX-Large)

The harness expands...I have a 42 inch chest, and I cinch it down as small as it gets. I think you should be OK.
