How well does this fit a man with a 42 waist and XXL shirts? I think my chest is 52 inches. Tight fit, OK fit?

It should range just about right. I'm 6'2" 250lbs, i had to exchange the vest a the zipper failed. Just sent them a photo, sure wished they use YKK zippers. Bill

Its an OK fit. I have about same chest size. There are 3 adjustment straps on each of sides. With about 6 inches of adjustment.

i wear a size med-large shirt and a 34 waist and i have to tighten this thing all the way down and it is a lil loose still. with it all the way i have about 5+inches of adjustment strap left on both sides giving it a total of 10+ inches that it could expand out. so, with that being said i believe it would fit. my best friend tried it on and didn't have to loosen it all the way and he is about 5'10" 280lbs.

I am a 44 waist and prefer a xxxl shirt. I can wear some xxl, but prefer a little baggier fit. This vest fits me perfectly with a little left to spare on the adjustment straps. I highly recommend it for us bigger fellas.

it will fit the vest will fit you the belt will need to be adjusted and it's max Length is51 inches with ought any trouble although it will need to take a while to adjust and the chest max horizontal leingth is 52.5 inches so it would fit. you adjust this size by looking on the back of the vest next to the molle straps and the belt can be adjusted by looking on the inside it is Velcro and its pretty simple but if you don't like the belt it comes with you can use your own and thread it through oh and to adjust the height of the vest there are Velcro pads on the shoulders that stretch the overall leingth to 27 inches so this vest can fit like almost everybody.

Sorry im late to answer. I wear an XL loosely and I could stretch the straps pretty far out. I don't think you will have a problem fitting it.

I wear 34" waist w/ LG shirt, the vest has 6" of extra strap of each side. Expandable to in theory to 54" chest, it will probably fit. Amazon has a liberal return policy. For the price, go for it.

I'm going to be quite thorough. I apologize in advance! To give you an idea of how a medium fit on me, I'll explain my build (Not to weird you out); I'm 5'6", 180, 32 Waist, broad shouldered "Athletic" build- I usually buy Medium shirts or 16" Collars for dress shirts. The Medium fit well and it wasn't baggy (It wasn't skin tight like under armor) If you prefer a more loose fit, I suggest you buy a next size up)

Here are my thoughts. I'm a 32" waist and a 42" chest. I only weigh about 158-160 lbs. However, I'm 5'10". The legs definitely aren't an issue on the suit since it comes only below the knee (not a full leg suit). I think the medium is right for your waist and shoulders also. Are you (forgive me for putting it this way) "only 5'5" because of a shorter torso or shorter legs? If you simply have short legs, then the medium would probably still be perfect. However, if your legs are longer and your torso is shorter, it might be only a slight issue. All that said, given your chest and waist, the small would still probably be constricting. I'd say to contact the seller in advance and tell them your concerns. That's exactly what I did and they were tremendously helpful (and right) about the sizing.

I brought a XXL. I have a 52 in chest and a 38 in waist and it fits great. The jacket also adjusts for the waist and it turns in to a vest for the really hot days.

I have a 46 inch chest. Med - Xxl fits. This belt has a slider buckle that you can move around to get a good fit. It is also elastic. For me, the bucket is full out with very little pressure from the elastic. I don't know it is there.

Hard to say and I think it would depend on your chest size. These are not "tight" t-shirts. I am 6' 210 44" chest and it fits me fine but looks close to the picture on the ad.

I wear a 52" jacket and it is snug on me, but it will probably fit. It is tight but not too uncomfortable to wear.

Chest size is up to 52". I am 6'4" 325lb and it fits me. I question if the 24 gram Co2 is enough to hold me up. There is also 30 & 38 gram out there so I assume that is more bouyant. Anybody know about this?

Hi. I'm 5 ft 11 inches @ 165lbs. I purchased the large and it is definitely a bit snug, especially in the shoulders and chest. I would recommend purchasing a size larger than what you normally wear from Columbia or other manufacturers.

I can tell you this much. I weigh 275 lbs, with a 50 inch chest, 41 inch waist, and am 6'0 tall. It fits me fine and I had to take in the shoulder and side straps a little even. It is a high quality item and I am very happy with mine. 5.11 items are well made and worth every penny.

It'll be close. I had to tighten the 40" down quite a bit and my chest is 40. There is a lot of velcro but I don't think it will line up very well tightened down that much.

i am 6ft. 2in and extra large fit me fine. It is not too tight on my 44" chest so that is probably what you would want.

I am 5-10", 42" chest, and 158#. The medium fit good. Sleaves are long so should fit you.

I believe this will fit you fine, assuming your chest size is 26-40". These sizes are based on average build and do not restrict the chest area.

I am 5'6" and 145 lbs, with a 37.5" chest. I wear a small, and everything fits perfectly - including the sleeves. My friend got the same one in medium. He is 5'11" and 180 lbs with a 40" chest.

I'm 5' 6" and my chest is 42". I have the size 14 and it fits snuggly. The size 16 might fit you best. You could order 2 sizes and return one after you try them both. Good luck!
