My husband is 5'9 and 155#. He normally gets a size large Elite std short. Not familiar with bibs. Most responses seem to point toward a medium.

The most important fit is in the shorts. If he is a large usually then I would suggest a large in the bibs also.

I would say a medium. A large would be a tiny bit baggy. Check how he fits in the large standards he has just to make sure.

I'm 6-1 and 175 lb and the large fits well. Based on his hgt I'd suspect the medium would fit better.

My husband is a 34 waist and 34 inseam and these fit him perfectly with a little room to spare. I ordered him a large, so I would say you should be fine with a medium.

Hen, you probably want it a little large to go over other wear. I'm 66" and stocky and an XL works great for me. Nice and loose but not too loose. My chest is about 44" so I'd say probably Med or large depending on how loose you want. I don't find mine too long even tho I'm short. U may find a large a little long. So, there you have it. Good Luck. Looser is probably better, my wife's wisdom. My wife who is 5'11" and bigger around than you wear's a men's medium (usually), so looser would be a large, but length. . .?

I'd suggest an extra large. I am 5' -6", 175 and am happy with the mediums. My buddy is 5" -8" 190 and the large is best for him. Hope that helps.

I'm 5'11'/220 and I wear the large. It fits but I think your husband would need the larger size because of his height.

I bought these for my husband in a medium. He's a 9 US. Hope this is a little helpful.

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!

Medium is meant for 5"4 to 5"7 so medium is probably the best fit for him. I'm 16 and 5"11 yet I use medium because they're little and light and being the forward I want to be I think it's best but that's my opinion and one day it'll probably screw me over but yeah medium for a safe nice fit

I recommend a medium, thats what my husband wears and he's your size. I'm about a 28-32 and a small does me just fine :)

I would go with a medium. The small would probably work for your 9# but it might be a uncomfortable for the taller one

Richard, I own both a large and a medium, I'm 5/10 and 185 and I find the large a bit baggy. The medium fits fine. Given that your frame is larger than mine I would suggest the LARGE. I think the large would fit correctly. Those I run with have tried the "beefier" style and have not been happy with how sloppy it fit as their mileage climbed through the summer. They went back to the elite cut and were very happy.

I got my husband, who is.5'8" and probably closer to 200 pounds a size 5 I believe. like a karate pants, he's had to get these hemmed too.

The stout should be fine. I'm 5'8" with a 34 inch waist and have the regular mediums, but if I had to buy these again I think I would get the medium stout size. The standard mediums fit me well, but are a little tight in my calf area and can be a little snug around the chest if you wear a lot of layers underneath.

I would think Large would be the way to go - that is what I have and they are plenty long. My quads are pretty big for my height and they are a little snug that way but very comfortable. I normally wear a L or XL bib and my other knee warmers were L so it's all about the same

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.

I don't know about the medium but....on my large (i'm 5'9/195), I wear layers and have no problems at all. The large fits really big on me and I've worn: base layers for top/bottom (thermal/underarmor, fishing pants, socks pullover zip and rain jacket. Still....i've got manuverability. As I stated earlier, this is a larger size though. IMO, I think you'll be fine. I hope this helps.
