I'm 5'4", 140 lbs with a chest of 34" so I went with a small and it's a super tight fit. It's my first time buying a shirt like this so I'm not sure.

I like them to fit like a wetsuit which is pretty tight. You should have to "roll" it up off your back when you take it off. Sounds like you have the correct size.

I suggest a medium now to fit. A large would be lose now but if you continue to grow I would advise getting a large. Believe me because this shirt is of such good quality you should have it a long time.

I'm 5'4 and weigh about 120 lbs. I purchased the medium. The small would not have fit me based on how the medium fits.

I ordered a medium and it fits a little snug with thick shirts/sweaters on. You may want to go with a large.

I think the size L maybe large for you. your shoulder and chest is like me. but the shirt is too long and the chest is too big

I'm about that size on the top and 30-inch waist and I wear a medium. If you like it to fit tightly, purchase a small. If you're going to layer it with a shirt underneath, a medium.

I am 5'3", 122 lbs. Medium is perfect for me. I wear a 34C bra. It is loose enough to be comfy but still has a somewhat fitted look because the sides are slightly tapered inward at the waist. I love this shirt. Perfect for exercise.

I'm 5'9" 180 Lbs I removed 4" from the bottom of the shirt because it hung down past my knees. I wear a large shirt and there is still room for exspansion. I have never worn this shirt for a few weeks but have worn it for a few hours several times. I can't imagine how much labor went into making this shirt.

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!

Shirt was for my son. He said it comes a little small and form fitting but he wanted it tight. Hope that help.

I'm 5 5 and 130lb. I got a small and I should have gotten a medium. I'd go medium if I were you.

I got my Ex boyfriend the small, and he was 5'9 170lbs, and it fit him everywhere except the sleeves. Go with the Medium if you want room

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.

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

Well the small is pretty tight, there is a lot of padding, and I am a marathon runner so I am pretty small in the chest. Haaa

I bought this for my grandson, who is 12 and about 110 lbs and about 5'4'' and it fit fine. I tried it on myself, 5'3'' and 118lbs and it fit me fine. Sounds like to me, the small may fit you. If any doubt, order the medium only for length. Good luck, I think you will be pleased.
