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.

You should check the speedo website for the correct size...the vest is lightweight so you may want it bigger so they don't outgrow it.

You are about the same size as my son. I bought the small tank size for him and he seems to like it. He did say that it is a bit difficult to get on, but comfortable once that is done. He suggests going with the tank rather than the sleeves.

I think you should get a large. Even with the zipper in the front they're the devil to get on and off. It does give a little when wet. I wear mine in a pool.

My son is 36" and 30 pounds. He has a size 4 suit and it is a little big on him. It is wider than it is tall on him. They say the suit should not be loose if the goal is to keep them warm. The suit is well made and thicker than any other suit that I have seen. If your daughter is getting cold, you may want to try size 3.

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 am 6'2 and weigh 258 pounds and I have the XXL and it fits me perfectly, but I also wanted a little bit bigger one so that I have the room in the jacket and bibs for extra clothes underneath them. I wear a pair of long Johns then my jeans over top of them then I put on my Frabill snow bibs on when I get to the lake. I also wear a T-shirt long Johns then a long sleeve shirt then I put on my Frabill Snow coat on when I get to the lake and I NEVER have any problems being cold. I used my Frabill Ice Suit in Colorado this year in -24 weather while ice fishing and never once got cold.

I am 5'9", 160lb, waist 34. I fit size medium or medium large wetsuit. You didn't mention your weight. My thought is that there may not be a wetsuit exactly fits you.However, my suggestion is that if your weight is heavier than me, you can choose medium large or large one, although it is much longer than you needed. But you can do something in your leg part and make it short.

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.

Gosh, sizing on this product I think is a bit tricky. I have read that lots of people have had trouble, as did I. I am 5'11", 180lbs, and I got a 2XL, which now seems quite foolish. It is way too big. I think a better size for someone around my height would probably be a Large or an XL, but I swim in the one I got. My waist is about 34 inches or so, and my build is quite average. Not nearly enough to fill that jacket out. Hope that is helpful.

I would guess a size 3 would work well but buying a 3 and/or 4 and trying it is the best way to find out, and return the one you don't take of keep them both if the 3 fits and you have the 4 for when he grows into it. Otherwise return both, but the other answers are correct to look at the O'Neill site and make sure the height is right. If it is too loose it will let cold water in and circulate, if it is too tight it will be very painful and useless. It is a great wetsuit for the toddlers, best I ever saw. BD

Body size must be taken into consideration. For example I have a medium mans build, and I ussually buy large T-shirts and they just fit. So I bought a large snorkeling vest and it just fit, it was a little on the tight side but once your in the water, the vest will tend to rise up into your chin if its not on the tight side, so you may want to go with a small based on the lack of info you supplied.

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

Hi there! I am 5.2 tall and 135 lbs. In women's clothing I am currently a size 6. I bought size 36 on this and it works great for me. I swim sporadically, I got it because this is my version of having privacy in the pool. You might be able to go a size down on this as you are almost 20 pounds lighter than me. That should work. Hope this helps.

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.

Hey Vanessa,Sorry didn't check this e-mail till today. I purchased a Large and found out I needed to get a Medium & I'm a big guy, 5'9'' & 225 lbs. I suppose I could have sent back, but, I needed it for an upcoming race. I hate to make you do it, but, if you are able to get to Sports Authority or Dick's sporting stores and try on a few models there. Depending upon your hydration needs; there are 8oz., 10 oz., and even the 16 oz. bottle available on the models. Hope this helps. ~~ Tim
