I'm 5'10 285lbs. i'm worried that the slim fit would be a problem with my belly/love handles and concealed carry. what size should i get 2xl or 3xl?

The big question is this: how big are your shoulders and chest? The waist and belly areas are good. The shoulder area is what gave me some issues. I wear a 4xl and went with the 5xl because I have big shoulders from lifting weights.

I bought the one that's 1.5" wide (not the one that tapers down to 1"). As far as the sizing goes, it fit exactly to the size chart that the company gave in some of the images they posted. If you're NOT gonna carry using an in the waistband holster (IWB), then just get the size belt you normally get. If you ARE gonna carry with an IWB then follow their size chart. It was spot on.

I have no idea how that would fit you. I am 6'3 280 with very broad shoulders and I got the 2xl and it fit fine. I can say it is adjustable. I think I should have gotten the xL but I am not sure. If there is a supply store around that sells vests it wouldn't be a bad idea to go and see if you could try it on. I am losing weight and don't expect to fit into the vest forever. I may have to get a smaller size. Not sure what the 4 buckles purpose are but that sounds like a plausible purpose for them.

I am a bit of a chunker, 5'10" 250, and the 3x is right on. If you are lean, I would go with a small, or medium at best. If short in the legs, make up for it with boots. You don't want it to be lose.

Iam a 3 x I was told to go one size bigger . To a 4x - but I am going by 3x if it fit tight that's good the sizes should go 1 x - 46 - 48 2x -50 to 52 3x - 54to56 4x 58 to 60 but you have to remember they re preshrunk. So if you are going wear vneck I would small light gun full coular for a larger gun. You can go to the store try on a mans tee shirt . So if you try a1x and its loose then I would go down a size because they are preshrunk . I hope it helps . Have a blessed day

If you'll be concealed carrying using an in-the-waistband holster (IWB), then definitely go up an inch or 2 more than your regular size.

Hey Shawn, You would get a XL Shirt with a Large holster. Make sure order the holster by the hand you draw with. If you draw with your Right hand, then you will order a Right Hand holster. Thanks, Don

Depends on how you wear your tactical clothes. I am 6' and have a 48-50" chest and wear an XL. I wear soft armor and plates over it so I want the shirt a little tighter to avoid any material bunching. I have a 2 XL for just going to the range. They are true to size and don't really shrink. They are more fitted in the chest area, but not restrictive.

If you're a big guy, a large will work. But, it will be very tight and cumbersome. I don't like the newer fanny packs because they are rigid and stiff....so, I would not call it concealed. Everyone who knows guns know you are carrying.

I have a 44" chest and 40" waist, and the 2XL fits me snugly. The Hot Leathers website has a size chart that says a 44" chest would be a Large, but there's no way that would fit me. Here's a link to they're sizing chart: http://www.hotleathers.com/images/size-chart1.jpg

I'm a straight up 38 waist and I ordered the 2XL. Fits perfectly. Just remember to tumble dry cool or line dry only - no high heat drying.

I wear a 34" waist. This week my belly is 37.25". My goal belly size is 35". I have a large belt. I'm at the small end of the belt and will have to get a smaller one soon. Measure your belly. If you're right on the transition, get the smaller one. (Unless you're a power lifter competing in a heavy division, but then this isn't the belt for you, anyway.)EDIT TO ADD: I didn't realize you're female. Measure around your belly. The idea of a weight belt isn't the same a back brace. You simply press your belly against the belt to increase the internal belly pressure which, in turn, supports your spine. It's a good belt for the money. I don't do squats or deadlifts without it. I wear a 34" waist. This week my belly is 37.25". My goal belly size is 35". I have a large belt.

I checked one of the other back belts made by this company. The 3XL belt fits waist size 49-52 inches. Therefore I would assume this soft form lumbar/sacral belt would be made to the same measurements and the 3XL would fit a 49-51 inch waist. This is a very comfortable belt to wear directly on your skin, or over your clothes. I wear it for 12 hours each day I work.

I'm actually the same size (though you have a bit lower BF percentage) and I have found the XL to be comfortably snug for workouts. If you want to play it safe, go for the 2XL, but I wouldn't go higher than that. My XL extends about 8" below my waist, so length should be ok for you.

To be honest, I took the best educated guess I could. Large fit me well, though I have large hands. I would recommend just go with you gut. And sorry for the late reply. Thank, Addy R.

The A1 would be comically small. Probably the A2 for that matter. The idea would be for sleeves to reach the wrists and for pants to reach the ankle area and with your height, only the A3 of those choices is likely to do that. There is a drawstring on the waist of the pants and a belt on the Gi. You will be good with an A3.

The chest is perfect but I've got a barrel chest... However the gut area seems to be huge... I'm 5'9" 210 and had to return my XL for an L. It still feels like i can fit a small midget in there, makes putting gear in the pockets or a vest underneath very comfortable.
