I want to get these for my son for Christmas, but not sure which size to get. He weights exactly 160 lbs, he is 17 and done growing. What do you think

I weigh a couple pounds less and bought the 158 to 198 lbs stilts. They work great for me.

Well I was drunk when I ordered mine. But I just checked and found these Poweriser Jumping Stilt Classic 158-198 lbs the link is Poweriser Jumping Stilt Classic 158-198 lbs and make sure he wears protective equipment

That's the same size as me! I got the 158-198 lbs and they worked for me like a dream! hope this helps!

Being on the low end of the weight scale will only require a little more patience breaking them in and practice, so 158-198 should be fine. Excellent gift idea! However, I would recommend wrist pads too. Happy Holidays!

I purchased the 158-198 lbs stilts; I am 165lbs. Though they have excellent spring, you have to put some force into them to get the desired propulsion (Your son will also have to get used to jumping and bringing the weight down on his heals instead of his toes). But once you get bouncing, you really get some air (mid air balance is sketchy at first). Just note, they are a bit heavy, so he shouldn't expect to be back flipping right away.Otherwise..great purchase, I was just using them this weekend.He's basically at the max capacity of the lighter model, but if he'll be gaining any weight, I woulnd't recommend the lighter version, since they could break.Hope this was helpfulHappy holidays!

My son is 6'4 and 160 pounds and i bought the largest size and it fit him perfect. It does have a draw string and you might be able to shorten it but the length was perfect for him. When I bought his in December they had 3 different sizes.

hey Sang-ho~ I'll recommend Size M. because this product are very very flexible. I am 175cm , 165lbs. My son is almost 150cm, 100lbs . we can share each other.

My son is 5'5" and about 15 pounds heavier than yours, and I bought him a Large which he has worn all winter. He had tried them on at a local store first, the Medium was tight in the shoulders for him, and I wanted it to last at least 2 winters. I figured we'd have to roll the sleeve cuffs back a little, but they were fine as-is. Super-warm jacket, great purchase.

I'm 5'11" and weigh 160 lbs, and I ride a 24". A 24" for your son seems like a logical step up, but if he wants the challenge, they just go for the 26".

I would recommend size Large if you like a somewhat roomy fit, with room underneath for another shirt. I am the same height, but another 30-35 pounds heavier, and size Large fits me all right. I even have some Extra Large jerseys, but these tend to be very long and very full. If you like a somewhat more trim fit, I would think Medium might work for you.

Depends on your age, whether you're done growing, and how serious you are about lifting. Sounds like you might be under 18 with a waist that thin, if you are I'd go with the Medium, especially if you're planning to continue lifting.

my husband is 5'6 and 160 pounds and got the small/medium. It's perfect for him. Note that my 4'6 son is 92 pounds. It fits him except for the small harness which hooks to tree is loose. I would suggest you go to the larger size

Its really all about weight. This is probably pretty close to allow for some growth. We bought the medium for our sons 11th birthday and he's about 80 lbs. the zap web site has some guidelines on sizing as well.

I think they have weight recommendations on different models. My son is 14 and they are perfect for him.

I am 6' 185 lbs. average build. The fore arm sleeves are a little snug on me. The calf sleeves fit well although I some times have to adjust theme, they do slide down when moving a lot(kicking and sparring) The sleeves are Velcro adjustable and have plenty of room for adjustment. Although for a "skinny" teen ager I am not sure of the fit. I think I could were these even if I dropped weight to say 160 ish. Hope this helps

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 purchased the costume for my grandson who is 6 and he is over 40 lbs. It was a little big on him so I would say to be safe you may want to get a smaller size for your son. Check on their return policy before you purchase to make sure you will not be stuck with an item that you can't use.

The one's that I purchased were Men's XL and fit my 6'00/ 250 lbs. son, so I would suggest a small to medium, maybe? They run a little large...Blake
