What size would I get for a 5', 160 lb. autistic Michigan teen who doesn't understand it's too cold to swim in the pool right now?

These suits tend to be small and it doesn't matter if the legs or arms are too long. I would get a large.they are great about returns if that doesn't work

Yow! That could be coooold! I would maybe look at a 4 or 5 mm thickness suit, that said, this is so cheap and if you get it on prime with free returns... Anyway, I'd guess Medium so you're not wrestling too much to get it on. It does need to be fairly tight and in contact with the skin to work properly, mine has a spot in the small of my back that doesn't contact so it makes a cold spot, which seems to be typical of low-cost wetsuits, but at this price I can't complain too much.

We bought an adult XS when my daughter was 10yrs old average size. My son, now 12, 57" and 70lbs still uses it 7 years later. It was very big on my daughter but mom used it when our daughter was in the pool on the cold days of races in early spring. I would by a size up so she can use it for several years over her full warm-ups and uggs. It will be long but zips from both ends to allow walking. She may look like a Jawa from Star Wars but she'll be comfy

I would say 40-45 max on the medium. Some kids are more buoyant than others - at least it seems they are - If it seems like it's struggling to keep the child afloat then go to large.

Go to a local dive store. Try on some wetsuits. See what size fits you. Ask if they can match Amazon's prices. Order your wetsuit from Amazon.

The smallest size is a 2T and to be honest I think that might be too big for you. Keep in mind the arms and legs should be a snug fit or the suit doesn't offer much warmth. A 2T might fit ok length and waist wise, but I doubt it will keep water from getting inside and touching your child's skin.

Medium might be a little big on him. I think it starts at 33 lbs. Please be aware, this is not a flotation device. My son wore his and he went straight under water. We got rid of it. I think it's more for kids who can already swim.

I'm 6'2' also and about 220 lbs. I know I purchased the largest size available (I think the XXL). I like some room so I can wear a good base layer if needed. If you are in a climate that gets below 20 F I would say go big so you can add sweatshirt under it comfortably.

I am 6'1" and i got a medium i weight 165 lbs and the wetsuit fits great. Just make sure to place the palm of one hand on the lower back to pull zipper up. The wetsuit is great

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

Personally I would go with the 8. It may be a smidge loose, but shouldn't effect anything. The problem I found is, if I get the exact size, they will grow out of it by summer. If I get a size larger, they will grow into it, theoretically, it would save some money. Wetsuits are suppose to fit snug, but a little loose is ok. BTW....Amazon sells this stuff called "piss off". It's a wetsuit cleaner./deodorizer. Make sure he rinses, and hang dries. It does to get a funky smell so LET IT DRY ON A HANGER AND KEEP IT OUTSIDE.. on the hanger. Good luck.

I'm 6' 195 lbs with fit build and the XL fits very snug - it's very much like a wetsuit. He may want to look at the XXL.

my advise is the get the largest size avaialbe for him, becasue the run a little small and has no strech so size up aleast 2 sizes for him just for the room but it is a good shirt for sweating make sure he wears under shirt just in casehe does not like tw and have a water when he works out dont order your shirt size

My son is 15 and medium/slight swimmers build about 5'6" and I got him the adult large, it fits him a little roomy but he likes it like that and it will last him all through high school. Hope this helps :)

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. !!!!!

Definitely the larger for your older. If your younger is on the bigger side, especially with head size, I would get the larger for them, too. My boy finally will swim under water because of these!

I definitely think you would want a "large". Go to the Ruffwear website and there is a 'fit guide' if you search for the Float Coat
