My husband is 5'9 and 155#. He normally gets a size large Elite std short. Not familiar with bibs. Most responses seem to point toward a medium.

The most important fit is in the shorts. If he is a large usually then I would suggest a large in the bibs also.

I would say a medium. A large would be a tiny bit baggy. Check how he fits in the large standards he has just to make sure.

I'm 6-1 and 175 lb and the large fits well. Based on his hgt I'd suspect the medium would fit better.

I have basically the same measurements, but am only 5'4". I tried on the bibs last night to double check length and they are a couple inches long in the legs and I also have the straps adjusted as short as they will go, so they should most likely fit you.

I bought these in XXL for a man who is 5' 10" ,240lb and 40 inch waist. The fit is a bit relaxed which he likes. I hope that helps you. He is new to biking and has not tried Pearl Izumi.

I recommend a medium, thats what my husband wears and he's your size. I'm about a 28-32 and a small does me just fine :)

Hi, these are great and I am sure he will be happy with it,. They are very well made. My husband is 38" and has a lge which is plenty big enuf with room to grow. So I would think your husband would take a small. Hope this helps

Hello, yeah Definitely a medium since your taller, I'm 5'5 125Ibs 29waist and I got a small and it fit good but i was a little tight I probably should have gotten a medium myself but I made the small work.

I am 5'9" & wear large. Bear in mind I ride a half pipe and intentionally fall on my knees. I would wear medium if they were only for accidental falls.

I'm 5'9 150 lbs and I got a small. I have enough room to move around comfortably. It really depends on how he wants it to fit. If he wants a bigger fit, go with the medium. If he wants something a little more fitting, go with the small. You can't go wrong with either.

I'm 5"9-10" and 135lbs, the medium large was pretty big on me, and pretty long on my too. He should do great in the medium large, so he won't be tripping over it every step like I was. By the way, there is two slits by his pants pockets, they are supposed to be there for pocket access. This suit is extremely warm also. Hope this helps!

I would go more for how tall you are than shoe size. I wear a size 9 in women's Columbia bugaboot, and i am 5'6 so I got a medium. If you are say 6' I would order the large so they will come up high enough. I hope that makes sense. There is some room for adjustment. I think mine would be fine for a guy with a size 10 and say..5'8 or so. Any taller and they may be to short.

My son is 130 lbs and 5'9" and his "small" fit him perfectly. My husband is about your size and for him I would definitely buy the large. By the way, this is a GREAT product! You won't be sorry. Helps so much!

My husband is a 34 waist and 34 inseam and these fit him perfectly with a little room to spare. I ordered him a large, so I would say you should be fine with a medium.

My husband is 5'6". He is 170 lbs. WE bought medium short stout and they fit perfectly. The straps are adjustable. So I would guess you would wear medium short.

I would recommend the med. I bought then for my wife and she is a 9. We got the mediums. They tend to tighten up and shrink a tad after a few washes. You will be happy with mediums. Amazon Ray

Large probably makes sense, although I'm not sure between regular length versus short - check the size chart for that :)

There are a variety of sizes. I am sure that one would I am 5"11' and 270 I got XXL wide. I bet XS tall would fit him but you should google search for "propper BDU size chart to get the exact size that will fit.
