I'm 5' 2" and 120 lbs. Will this jacket be too large? I'll be using it for competitive paddleboarding on open waters. Thanks!

I don't think it will be too large. If anything, I find it too small for a bigger person. But, to use it for paddleboarding on open waters would be a concern - it will need to be re-charged every time it gets wet and inflates (unless set on manual). Check out the costs of the cylinders for re-charging this unit before buying. Also, keep in mind that this item is not returnable.

While it is a great product, due to your frame size, I would visit a local dealer foe fit, then consider options on Amazon.

No, this jacket is perfect for you. But remember is automatic sistem; if the jacket touch the water kabum.

I'm 5'3'' and 130 lbs and it fits just fine. There are a lot of expandable straps that help it expand and contract quite a bit.

I am 6'2 and weigh 258 pounds and I have the XXL and it fits me perfectly, but I also wanted a little bit bigger one so that I have the room in the jacket and bibs for extra clothes underneath them. I wear a pair of long Johns then my jeans over top of them then I put on my Frabill snow bibs on when I get to the lake. I also wear a T-shirt long Johns then a long sleeve shirt then I put on my Frabill Snow coat on when I get to the lake and I NEVER have any problems being cold. I used my Frabill Ice Suit in Colorado this year in -24 weather while ice fishing and never once got cold.

I use this jacket in anything from 20-60 temps. I just add more layers underneath as necessary. For very cold rides, I use a couple of extra layers around my core (a-shirt, then a t-shirt) with a long-sleeve base layer and a long-sleeve fleece. The trick is to do the layering in a way that doesn't add too much bulk - especially in the arms. Otherwise, you'd need to buy a size up and then it'd be too flappy when you're using it in 60 weather. If money were no object, I'd buy a specialty jacket for really cold weather, but I can make this one work pretty well as long as I'm riding hard enough to generate some warmth. I wear a size medium in most of my shirts (5'8" 140lbs) and I'm happy that I bought a size small in this jacket. Fits close with just enough room for a thin fleece layer underneath. It's probably not 100% windproof (and definitely not waterproof) but it makes a good outer layer and cuts most of the wind.

I wear a large jacket size and have a large vest. It seems to fit a little bigger than a regular jacket, but I like it that way myself. I think the sizes run fairly true.....

I am 5"10" 230 lbs. and I went with the xxl suit. It is a tad big but gives me room to move around and add more layers of clothes if needed.You may want to go with the xl, the bibs fit me perfect and the coat is a tad big but not bad at all.I have NEVER gotten cold in this suit with minimal clothing and some pretty severe weather. You are going to love it!

Agreed - would suggest at least 9 ft for paddleboarding. This is a great board for the surf

I will answer your question with another question; how do you want the jacket to fit? I am 5'8" and 180 lbs. I ordered a Large because I got the impression that the jacket ran small. I received it, and it was way too big. If you want the jacket to fit you nice and snug, get the size you usually get in clothing. I usually get a Medium and should have gotten a medium.

That suit should be perfect, my 5 year old wore his earlier this year in 60 degree and cooler water, he is in a short arm short leg suit now that the water is upper 60s I've surfed my entire life in RI and have had lots if suits, this is a great suit for the price

Probably your normal jacket size will work...suggest the Large. The arms are longer by design to cover wrists when extended to the grips. I'm 6'1", 200, 36" waist and have the XL - fits me fine. The fit is snug when zipped to work well when riding, unzipped very comfortable for general wear. I really enjoy all the pockets which provide plenty of room and sizes for various every day items. The jacket is heavy, but it's not noticeable when worn. Material is a great texture, not stiff, but durable. Seems to 'wear-in' as it is worn. I keep the liner in place as it makes the jacket more comfortable with the shoulder and elbow protection in the jacket. Vent zippers work great. I'm very happy with the jacket - have had compliments on it.

I'm 5'4" 106 lbs and the small fit just fine with a LOT of room to adjust...the jacket rides up a bit in the water but it's not uncomfortable, I wore this on a few snorkelling trips and I had no complaints.

I cant really say about a jacket, i use this on my dirtbike and i put a white tee shirt under it, i dont where anything over it unless its chilly then i throw my jersey over it. Im 5'11" and 200 lbs. My jersey is an X large but thats way too big for me so i dont where it most times. I would imagine a large jacket should fit over it but if i was you i would go try one on at the bike store to get a good fit before u order one.

I would get the large , suit fits bit snug, you don't want to be to uncomfortable in your movements. I purchased a 2x and am 6'3" 240lbs, Body builder frame , I needed a 3x couldn't maneuver in the water and my girlfriend had to pull the suit off my shoulders, I couldn't take the 2x off or put on by myself. !!!!!

What about for a small woman? I am 5'4 120lbs? I only hear about guys knocking it around with sand. Do you think it will still move with water with someone my size?

It needs to fit perfect also in the pants because in the water it will be a problem if you have water inside the suit you'll be carrying more weight. I first used one of a friend for an olympic triathlon, that is my same size and was perfect for me . That why I decide to by one.

Gosh, sizing on this product I think is a bit tricky. I have read that lots of people have had trouble, as did I. I am 5'11", 180lbs, and I got a 2XL, which now seems quite foolish. It is way too big. I think a better size for someone around my height would probably be a Large or an XL, but I swim in the one I got. My waist is about 34 inches or so, and my build is quite average. Not nearly enough to fill that jacket out. Hope that is helpful.

Medium should be fine, just remember that it is close fitting so if you like room in your waders you might want to go with Large. I am 5' 8", 190 and I got a large.
