How tightly should it fit? I'm slightly over 5'8" and about 155 lbs. I just bought a medium based on the sizing chart, but it is VERY snug.

It's pretty snug. The small weights make it close to your body plus there's adjustable strings on each side that you adjust to your liking.

My fits very snugly, like a second skin. If you are not comfortable, I would send it back.

Comfort is something that you can control. I keep mine breathable while im at work, bht when im working out at home i tighten it up when im running. pushups and situps. So there is not real suggestion on compression, just adjust it to your comfort and exercise. Im running a medium via the size chart too and it is a little snug as well.

You can adjust it on the side. It's should be snug so it moves with you. I run with mine on if it was lose that would be annoying. I'm 6' 210 lbs n I wear a lg. so I would think the med should be good for you. Hope this helps.

You should buy a medium. I am a bit taller than you and I am about 165lbs. Hope this helps.

I believe the size chart runs small. I think it also depends on your height. I'm 5'11", 180 lbs., thigh is 20" and I went with a large and glad I did. Extremely snug, doesn't move at all when I run, and covers essentially my whole thigh. A small would definitely be to small for you. I'd recommend the large.

I weigh 155 and have an Xl. It is meant to be form fitting. I would suggest you go by your measurements. Good luck.

Are you male or female? I am 5'3" and 115 lbs woman and I wear a small. Although it may be long for you, I would suggest a medium because the waist of a small will be very tight for you.

But I suggest buying it medium because mine fits perfectly but does not have much room left. Hope it helps.

yes it would fit you. im 5'8" and weigh 165 and it fits fine. just a little loose nothing too bad. its a great vest for workouts as long as u can handle then weight, if not then adjust the weights. i wear it all day on when im not working.

By the sizing chart's measurements I should have gotten a 4, but I got a 3 since I figured the material is knit and might loosen up a bit with use. The 3 fits me snug but comfortable and not restrictive at all. I think as long as you don't feel it is cutting off circulation or inhibiting your natural movement it is a good fit. If you do feel those things you might want to go a size up.

I am a size 12 woman...5'4" and 160 pounds. The small/medium was very large on me. It only has one tiny point at which it closes on the front so it fits loosely.

If you are tying it at the waist I would suggest going to a large, I find the fit is pretty accurate to your size, therefore I medium would be more fitted to you however you would probably want a little larger if you are tying it.

I ordered the extra large and I am 5'11" (200 lbs at the time i bought it, now thankfully 189). It actually fits a little lose now. But I still use it and it still does the job. My best guess would be to order the large but if you are planning on using it extensively and motivated to loose weight I would order the medium. Cheers and all the best to you.

It will be tight... I found it tight at 280lbs... Also might be a tad too short...

i would suggest a medium. it sounds like you are only a bit smaller than i am (5'8") and my jacket (size L) has not stretched out all that much in the year i have been wearing it.

Zipper would not be a good idea in my opinion - just because of how tight it is. I am 5'9" and 210lbs. The XL fits me perfect but is a touch long. I would think the medium would be perfect.

I'm 5'9 and 154lbs the medium is perfect, meaning if I was a bit taller or heavier it would be too tight.. I think you should go for a bigger size, just take in mind that the suit should be tight, otherwise you'll get cold washes more often.

Hmm, tough call. I'm 5'9", 160 and the large was a just a little loose fitting except for around my lower legs where it was very loose. I'm guessing a medium would have fit but would have been a little tight. So if you are looking for a tighter fit you should be ok.

I have a 35" waist. am 5'7" tall, and weigh 160 lbs. What size would be best? The answers so far make my choice unclear. One leads to me to believe I should buy a medium, while another indicates that I should buy a small.
