As a 5'5" female I wore a Small when I weighed 115 -125lbs but at 135-145 a medium fits better. For a male I think I'd look at the Men's specific models because I think the waist to hip ratio would be different and you could end up with a very tight and uncomfortable waist with a women's model. If you are going for the women's 3/4 tight because the length would be better I'd definitely go medium - small is quite small and snug.

The stitching pattern on the tights are to strategically place support over certain areas, they're not just for looks. For example, the "diamond" shaped pattern at the knees are supposed to sit directly over your kneecaps for the knee support/stabilizing feature to work (the model in the photo is not wearing them correctly). If you're pear-shaped, you'd probably need a medium in this brand, but they're going to be too long/not do it's job so the compression shorts would be better for you (above knee). If your weight's equally distributed, you may be able to get away with the small. Either way, try the brand on in a store if you can.

Medium work really well for me and I'm 5'3" 150 lbs. The pants seem very tight at first but definitely stretch out a little after wearing....and especially after wearing and washing 5-6 times. Wash in cold water/gentle...and line dry. Really great for recovery and supporting the knees.

I am 5'9" 155 and I wish I had ordered a large instead of a Medium. I fell well in the medium range. I get in them and they are definitely compression but a little more room would have been great. My other wish is that I would have bought full length. My calves swell below the hem. Also, with them being so tight they tend to pull down with my work out. If it wasn't for the tie inside I would constantly be pulling them up.

The CW-X web site has a good sizing guide. I am 5.1 and weigh 103 and the size xs fit perfect. The fit is VERY snug but not uncomfortable. I loved my 3/4 so much got a pair Of full length for Christmas!

I would think you could comfortably wear a size small. I am 5'4" and 130 lbs. The small fits pretty snug, but they are high-waisted, which keeps them from cutting into my hips. They cut just about mid-calf. My fear is that a medium on your height would ride way too high on your torso and be too long in the legs. 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.

I am 5' and weighed 127 lb when i purchased these in a Large so i would think an XL for you - the drawstring is useful to pull tighter around the waist, (as i now weigh 115 lb thanks to Zumba) but the really tight part of these pants is the top of the legs! Note: the diamond shape stitching should be placed around the knee and that works out for me at 5'. The best idea would be to try some different sizes on at Scheels as all our body types are different.

Hello...Just saying but these clearly state "Women's". I would not wear compression gear designed for a woman if I was a man (certain spots will get squeezed when they should not). However if you are a woman using a man ID: refer the CWX charts knowing that it is somewhat accurate (all people are build differently so going by weight and height rather than leg length and circumference is an issue). Your best bet is to try the exact brand and model at a local store and see how they fit.

You definitely want a large. I am 6 foot 165 lbs and the large is good and tight.

I am 5' 2" and 147 & I bought a size medium. Yes they are tight but that is what I wanted. Next time I would probably buy a large but I am happy with the medium as I was having hip pain and needed the support. Hope this info helps

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.

I'm 5'10" 165lbs and bought a large so I could where a bulky sweatshirt or fleece underneath. The sizing chart is accurate - go by that. BTW, I bought the Gage rain suit and it has been the best rain protection I have ever had, including L.L. Bean.

i'm 5'4 and i bought a extra small and it's a tiny bit too long. i don't think you'll have to worry about them being too tight either because they are still baggy on me and i'm usually a 5/6 as well. i usually would buy a medium or maybe even a small sometimes. I think a medium might be a tad too big. But i don't want to give you bad advice either.

I am 5' 5", weigh 145 lb with an hour glass figure. I bought a large. It fits well, comfortable but not baggy. Hope this helps.

I would get a large I think you should be able to wear it when you reach 130 it is adjustable and should work for you

Go with the next size up. That s/m is too tight for me, and I am 5'5" at 165.

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

The sizing for this brace is based on the measurement about 3 inches above your knee. I am 5' 6" tall and weigh 155. My measurement is about 15". I typically buy a large. You want the brace snug but not constructive. Hope this helps

I'm 5/4 145 I use the small, it's pretty tight so the medium sounds right for you.Marry Xmas and Happy New Year.

I think M will be fine because I wear size 4-6 jeans but I am 5'9" and Med are perfect. These are my favorite riding pants!

I'm 5'9 135lbs and I got a small. Above my knee cap measures 14.5 and below is 12.75 -if you measure 15 or above I'd get medium.

I would definitely go with a small, I'm 5'6" and weigh about 145 and I have the medium queens, but I do have extra space around my waist.
