What is the size scale like? I am buying these for my boyfriend. He is "small" - probably 130 lbs and 5'4". I'm not sure what to get him....

I'm 5'7, 140 lbs w a 30 waist. The medium were a perfect fit, so a small may be the size you're looking for :). The mediums fit well, but we're close to being too long

Hi Martha, I'm about 5'-10" and 180lbs (many of those lbs are in my tummy area, unfortunatley) and I went with the Medium and they fit perfectly, so I would venture that a size SM would do the trick - you do want them tight if they're going to be worn as a base layer.

Dave - how fat are you? I have a fat friend and he fits in it quite nicely. Snug. I think he's about 5'11" and weighs around 280lbs. Much more than that and you might need to upgrade! Good luck. Rich

My son is 4 years old, also tall and weighs up there and I bought the maxi micro for him prior to his 4th b-day and an excellent buy. He was very clumsy prior to purchasing the maxi and he is such a pro on this and no accidents in the half of year we have owned it. My advice go for the maxi and I am sure you will be glad you did.

I purchased the 158-198 lbs stilts; I am 165lbs. Though they have excellent spring, you have to put some force into them to get the desired propulsion (Your son will also have to get used to jumping and bringing the weight down on his heals instead of his toes). But once you get bouncing, you really get some air (mid air balance is sketchy at first). Just note, they are a bit heavy, so he shouldn't expect to be back flipping right away.Otherwise..great purchase, I was just using them this weekend.He's basically at the max capacity of the lighter model, but if he'll be gaining any weight, I woulnd't recommend the lighter version, since they could break.Hope this was helpfulHappy holidays!

I would definitely go for extra small. I ordered the large because of the measurements and I was concerned because they recommend them for bigger dogs (which he is not, he's mostly Corgi ) but they did fit very well when I I put them on him (I guess he's a "husky boy". ;)) so stick with their measurements and you will be fine.

My boyfriend is 6'4" and weighs about 230. I purchased the large ones for him and they work perfectly for him. His calves feel much better and do not ache as much.

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.

That seems a little big IMO. But here would be some of my questions. What size and weight is your son using currently? If he's swinging say a 30 or 29, is it really light for him? If not, I would buy the correct size elsewhere instead of getting a better price and having to put chokes on the grip. I err on the smaller size. I see a lot of parents buy big to save money or in hopes for them to hit harder. I like to keep the correct size or in my case, I bought smaller than I wanted to because of the better deal here. Its the form that counts but if you go bigger, it could hurt more than help the form. Just my $0.02 That seems a little big IMO. But here would be some of my questions.

I'm an avid hiker with many lightweight, expensive pole sets. Sacheen, I thank you for asking this exceedingly simple question. I'm rather saddened to see opinion answers ("They're not too heavy to me?") to a quantitative question. I am sorry that you actually had to purchase them to find that they are too heavy. I believe you. Sorry too that your scale was broken at the time, and no one else seems to have simply placed these on a small gram/ounce scale to get an actual weight. Thanks again, Sacheen, for saving me from buying these. I'm willing to pay more for high performance, lightweight poles for my Nordic walking/hikes of up to 20 miles a day.

I love my bike! I'm 5'2 and I have the seat as far down as it can go and its a great for me. I get compliments every where I go. My boyfriend is 5'11 and he takes it out for a ride when he doesn't feel like riding his bike.

I bought several of these for my kids, nieces and nephews. At least for me, we got them for much smaller people than what you're asking.. the oldest child was 7 years old. For the older kids - the 9-11 year olds. I got a larger version. These older kids are probably all less than 100 pounds and shorter than 5 ft. I used the larger one and felt comfortable with it - I'm 5'9" and much more than 100 pounds. The Lil Sioux was managed well by kids ages 3-7, and roughly 30-50 pounds in size, definitely under 5 ft, probably closer to 3-4 ft in height.

They tend to be a little bit bigger in size so I'd try the 80lbs size first. If that is too small, try the 175lbs. They're around $10, so it's better to try two different pairs to be sure. Smaller would be best to start with. Good luck...

I would just go by the weight ranges that are listed. My friend and I each ordered a small (100-160 pounds). One of us is about 130 and the other about 160 and we both really like the size small.

Whenever I bought them, There was always some sort of chart showing you exactly what size range corresponds to which letter. I have never purchased them without finding that proportional scale. Either the store/distributor, or the manufacturer has to giver you that information.
