I'm considering this as a gift. Everyone says it fits true to size, but my mom has large breasts (over DD). Any advice with this issue and an XL(+)?

This item does not fit true to size. I own the parka in Xl and it is snug. I just ordered it in 2X. Columbia typically runs small so order up!

I usually wear an XL and had to get this in a 1X in order to have room to move.

I have this and it's pretty slim fitting; my breasts are very large as well and the jacket fits very tightly over the chest, I leave it unzipped if possible.

We are the same size and I ordered a large and it is very tight across the shoulders ....I also found this shirt to be extremely hot and have managed to only wear it twice. I bought other shirts from Merrell and Reddington that were true to size and extremely comfortable.

i'm 5'10, 185-190 lbs and wear this in a large. i would say it runs true to size but also it is longer than your average shirt (like hanes or FOTL). it's good if you wear it as an undershirt, as it won't untuck nearly as easily as those other brands. it's a higher quality shirt, too, imo. the only other shirt i like as much is the hanes beefy T but those are a little more expensive.

My wife and I both have them. They seem to run a tad big. I usually wear L, and L worked for me, but my wife's M ended up fitting me perfect. My wife was fine with the M (her normal size), but the S was perfect. You would probably like a L. Hope this helps

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.

Yes it is true. I had issues with the sizing but measuring your chest is the best way to do it.

I have small breasts, so I can't answer for you. Since it's from Amazon, you can probably return it if it isn't satisfactory, but it's heavy so the return shipping would be significant.

Well, in addition to the very precise answer by D. Beatty, I think this is somewhat like to buy a shirt. If it is for yourself, I believe you will know which size fits for you. If it is for someone else (that was my case), it is not that difficult to guess and choose between small, medium or large. I bought it for someone else who was not present and it fits perfectly. And, besides, it is somewhat elastic, so small differences in the size are not supposed to be a big issue.

Yes, it is true to size. It for really nice and comfortable- I was size 14 and there was room for bigger size/ it helped with support a lot!

I am not able to address your size question but I would not recommend this bra for her cup size. It does not provide enough support.

Hi Nicole, are you happy with the small or would an XS have worked better for you? I am also your about size (5' 6", 114 lbs, with a small chest and shoulders). Thanks! -Maria

I really hope it does work out for you if you order it!But i ordered the same thing and got a completely different color, and it didn't even fit.I sent it back to get the right one, even made sure i ordered it right (like the first time, which i did) and it was the right color, but the wrong size again.Iwould definitely recommend trying another company. A more trustworthy one with better reviews.Good luck!

Buy one size bigger. It will be a snug fit. That's what I did. But the only issue I had was that more neck, chest and arm are more muscular these area was snug and my belly isn't big so this area was loose. So when I bought mine, which was one size bigger (normally I wear XL) I bought XXL. Another word, I could only wear a shirt or a long sleeve shirt, no sweater. Or else it be tight. And this is one size bigger then my norm. With this in mine, you know your own body structure, so go off of what I just said and use your best judgment. Good Luck

I am sorry I may not be of much help as I use an XL Shirt but bought a XXXL jacket because that was al available at the time. It was way way too big. I only use it with a Alpinestar bionic jacket under. I missed it. But because of its weight I am not willing to buy again. I live in Nigeria so shipping it back for a replacement is not an option, it will be cheaper to buy another than return the one I have already. Hope it helps you.

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 am a female with a 38 chest but I have the small/medium. It works great. As another reviewer said you slide your arm through and tighten it. i think you might want to try the large/xlarge. Call the company and ask them.

Hi- Happy to help, if I can. I ordered a S/M and I am an averaged sized woman. It is very comfortable and really, really did help me. If you are a man, I would go up to the M/L size. Hope this helps. Deb
