Want to get one for my gf. She is very athletic & reviews are inconclusive for her size - 5'3" under 100lbs with a 23" waist. Will it fit or should I get the junior size?

I am 5'2" and weight about 125. I pull it pretty tight. I think I would go to a sporting goods store and try on a junior size before ordering one. I do love it and use it a lot.

Don't bother purchasing. This thing is a piece of crap. Seriously - save your money.

Given that I have only bought one size, and I am a fully grown adult, it's difficult for me to recommend which one you should pick for your son. But, I did scan through the reviews to see which ones mention buying smaller sizes for their children. I came across a few that would at least come close to your son's statistics. The first one I found was bought for a 9 year old who was "Very tall" for her age, and they got her a medium. The reviewer said that if you buy a size perhaps slightly bigger than you were hoping for, the outfit comes with several straps that wrap around the waist and legs that can tighten it. (which I can confirm is true.) The only part that I've ever found to be loose is the upper chest region. I can't even seem to get that region to stay tucked in when I move around too much in the outfit. Also, another reviewer bought this for her 13 year old son who was 5'7 and 120 pounds and chose large. She said it was "a tad loose, but not too long." This is probably the example you were looking for, so listen carefully: Given the fact that you son is the same age as hers, and is both shorter and weighs less than her son, Medium might be a wiser choice - but remember I can't confirm that, I've never bought or tried any other side except for XL. At any rate, I think whether you pick medium or large everything will be fine. The medium might fit perfectly, and the large, if you decided to get that one, would at least be really comfortable, nonrestrictive to motor functions, and more importantly; he'd be able to continue using it as he ages and grows. So either decision you make I think you'll find good things about either of them. Hope I was of help.

I am a martial arts instructor. I buy a lot of these for students. You are never going to have the exact height / weight combo. For example; I am in height a size 4 but in weight a size 3, if I wore for the correct size I would have pants that looked like capris. Go with the one that is for the 4'9 100lb kid. The uniform also needs to be loose so it they can move around in it he/she will grow into it.

Well according to the size capacities for the A size (small), it should fit anyone who is a 25 inch to 41 inch waist size. Height really won't affect it. If you're only 195 lbs. then you're probably a 32 inch waist or so. In that case the A (small) size should fit the both of you just fine. The B size is the one you want in you're a bigger guy like 240 lbs. or more. Hope that helps!

I bought a size 6 for my 6'3" skinny friend, and they fit perfectly. you might want to get the size 5 because your daughter is still growing. It msy be a tad long for her but the size 4 may be short.

Fairly tight. Both of my girls wear them and if too loose, they will need to be pulled up while playing. I'm pretty sure size is based on knee circumference. My 16 yr old daughter wears a medium. She is 5'11" and about 155lbs. My 13 yr old daughter wears a small. She's about 5'6" and 140lbs. I hope I helped!

Well, I'm 5'10, 200 lbs, athletic and got the XXL. I wish I would have gotten an XL, as it should be slightly fitted. It depends how often you may want to layer up. But, I think a Large would be perfect for you.

I purchased this for my grandson. I got him a youth large. He is 119 pounds and about 5'5. I would get the same for that size.

Albert: I am 6'5" 230. I ordered the "XX large" and it fit great. The sides of the vest completely break apart and attach by Velcro, making it easy to increase/decrease circumference fit. My waist is 42" and there is PLENTY of real estate on the 2X to increase from 42" up. Great vest, tons of Molly straps. The only thing I would suggest is looking for a belt loop apparatus to connect the vest to your waist so when you sit in a vehicle the vest doesn't raise up. I found that annoying, but maybe that's just me. I let a family member use it for a while and they loved the vest and didn't know what I was talking about! Hope this helps

They may be a little loose. My Daughter is in a juniors 0. The XXS fit perfect for her at that size, once we washed and dried they shrunk down a little bit, she is now in an XS.

I have 28" and 5'3 and I got the small and am super happy with it fit wise. Gal at my gym has the same one but XS and it is a wee snug on me.

I would go with a "L" mine was an xl and fits fine. it's not tight at all. I really like it by the way. It is comfortable and not sweaty. Sometimes I even forget I am wearing the thing. I think it would be too big if you got the xl for him. Hope I am right with my info for you.

My daughter, 13 years old, is 5' tall, and 78lbs. The shorts that I bought for her (which is an extra small adult) were too tight on her on the legs. I think the best for your daughter is an adult small.

I am 5'9 and 195 lb, also fairly muscular. I bought the 5 black and it was a bit big. I used it for a year and it was very good but big. I think #4 will be good for you, it is decent quality, one of the g's ripped during a JJitsu practice. But the guy I was fighting was a beast, so I still think the quality is decent for everyday practice.

I'd say Junior if you want the most coverage of the neck below their shirt. The eye window is pretty small, even on the large. I think this is one item I wouldn't want to accidentally get too small.

I like to stand up straight. I'm 5'2" and I have to lean in a little. What I would be concerned with as well is , does it weigh a lot more? I have the junior and it is all the way up. You're an inch shorter, the junior might be the one you want.

I'm 6' 170 with a very toned athletic physique. Sounds like your thin yourself. I bought a medium. It is designed to hug your body and be 'form' fitting. With that said the length is great and doesn't ride up so I wear mine with or without a jersey over the top. It looks great on either way. I'd recommend the medium for you. Hope this helps.
