Not at all. Its fully adjustable. Im 5'6"" and mine fit fine after an adjustment.

I'm 5'4", 25" waist, and there's still room to tighten it. It's pretty short too - the bottom of it hits around my belly button. Shoulders are pretty narrow and wouldn't be a problem. If this doesn't work, I remember seeing some with a neoprene carrier that were super that looked good. I know a few people with mir vests, and everyone really likes them

Hey, Devyn. Sorry for the delayed response! I don't think you'll have any problems with the fit. One of the great things about this pack is how much it can be adjusted. Not only can you tighten or loosen the chest and waist straps, but you can do the same for each of the shoulder straps. I just measured the pack, itself, and it comes in right around 15" lengthwise. If you want to get an idea of how it might sit, have a friend tape a piece of legal paper to the back of your shirt(preferably without the words "kick me" written on it). The pack will be marginally bigger both horizontally and vertically, but you'll at least get an idea of how much space it will take up while wearing it which might help you make a decision. Hope this helps; let me know how it works out for you!

With all UA, depending on if you are okay with having clothing tight to your body, loose, or just having some give. I bought mine with having some give but it fits snug. I have a 38" chest and very broad shoulders. I fit snug up top and some give at the bottom with a 34" waste. I bought an XL. Just going by your waste you may want to try a Large. But that may confine you up top. The tops do have a no slip strip at the bottom of the shirt so should you tuck it in, it stays in place. I hope I helped in your decision, and answered any questions. Take care.

Doubtful, I'm 5' 6" and found the vest to be way too large. I'm 135 Lbs, but even so you'll have to modify the straps on the chest / gut in order to make it tighten up properly. As it sits now, the vest is very loose on me even after making new / smaller straps for it.

I am size 40R for suit jackets (man). My waist is 32. After adjusting the chest strap, there are still about 3 or 4 extra inches. Hope this helps.

Hey Chris I was 280 lb at the time when I brought it and used it. I'm only 5'10" Also it was a bit bulky on me and took time to get use to it. 40lb doesn't seem like much but it is. I actually went and got the golds gym vest that is only 25lb and it works much better. I hope this helps you

I have a 40 inch chest and it is a bit snug on me, might want to look elsewhere.

I don't think you would be really comfortable in that vest. While it is adjustable, my son who is thick through his shoulders and chest is only 5'5 and about 150lbs wears it and it fits him very well. I would think for a man of your size you may want to consider another option. Unfortunately, it will probably cost you considerably more money than this vest cost. I would recommend checking with Blackhawk! or LA Police Gear, both have a pretty extensive inventory and pretty good prices and the quality of the merchandise that I have purchased has been great. Good luck!

I'm 180 and 5"9" and I bought a medium, it was snug but once you fill it with air and start to snorkel the vest did start to rise up towards your chin alittle, but once I started kicking my fins, I just readjusted the vest. It worked great, infact I outlasted all the other experienced people in my group. The only reason I came back to the Southern Caribbean beach was because my under water camera battery ran out. So if you have a big chest and gut, better get the large.

Yeah...it might be a snug fit. I have a 50 in waist and its just big enough. Hope this helps!Glenn

I would think so. I am 5'9 220 with 48 chest and 36 waist and I went with an XL - I found a chart somewhere and went with the size that fit my chest if I was you I would do the same

I'm 5'8"" 170lbs. The vest fits me well with all 40 lbs added. l walked with it first few times and now run with it. I'm up to running 5 miles with 40lbs. I would think that with your larger frame it will fit you even better. You can also add your own padding to the shoulder straps.

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.

It should cover you BUT if you are over a 42" chest, it will be tight.............

I have a forty inch waist, but I easily wrap it around my big stomach. And it can tighten down a lot too.
