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.

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.

we purchased a size 10 as my husband is 5'8 and size 9 shoe and wears large in clothing. You should order a size larger than needed as you may want to have a heavy pair of socks and clothing underneath

I would suggest a tall large. I am 5"10 and a regular large is perfect. Be safe rather than sorry go for the tall.

I had the same problem with my dog and I went with the medium. No problems so far and the straps are generous so if you're an inch off either way it wouldn't be a big deal.

George, I agree with the two previous comments. I also have a pair of the Printed 1" Elite Split Leg Running Short - Liberty Size- Medium. Oddly enough the size is a medium but the waist-to-split is about 1/2 inch longer... I also have tried SOARK brand shorts. I 've 2 pair one large and one medium and for my 5'10' 180 frame the large was a bit flappy the rise is to long and the medium did not fit right. Others have suggested shorts from Skinz, N2N, Suzi Fox or even Liquidvinyl. All have 3/4 or full split running shorts with shorter rises.

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

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'm a 38 B and I wear a large Aqua Designs over a jog bra when swimming (I'm 5'8" and a fit 155lbs). I feel the large is perfect for me, not at all tight, and not near floppy-loose. If you have a much larger cup size or are much larger than me overall, then the xl might be the right fit. I have normal to narrow hips, if you have hips, you'd want an xl.

The length is a matter of personal preference. Personally, I like shorts that cover most of my thighs, rather than booty shorts, so I really like these. (As for size, I'd say either large or extra-large. It depends on how you're built.)

Dani I am 5'6" and weigh 198. I bought the Xl Short Plus and I love them. As far as the shoe size I too wear and 8 1/2 but they told me all the shoe sizes are the same you just pull them up on your heel and put them in your boot. I was not real sure about that but it works fine. I think I ordered a size 9 boot. I have worn silk underwear under mine and I have worn light thermals with Columbia fishing pants over the thermals and have plenty of room in them. Hope this helps and if you do decide to order hope you enjoy them as much as I have. One other thing we called and ordered ours and the lady we talked to was very helpful.

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 :)

A 56 is big on me & I wear a XXXL T shirt. However, I wear layered clothing underneath because I ride motorcycles. If he's only wearing a T shirt underneath then a 52 should be good.

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.

My husband is also 5'9" and weighs more than you do. The pack is comfortable and also adjustable, fits well. You should be fine!

Hello, yeah Definitely a medium since your taller, I'm 5'5 125Ibs 29waist and I got a small and it fit good but i was a little tight I probably should have gotten a medium myself but I made the small work.

I'd suggest adult short as well. I am 5'9" and adult long was perfect for me. -dr
