Complete novice here with a question on skinguard fit. I'm not sure what size to get --I'm tall and thin, about 6'1"/160. In T-shirts, I normally wear a large t-shirt, which gives me a nice, comfortable, non-clingy drape; medium tees fit me snugly, closer to the way a skinguard should. So, should I buy a large skinguard and expect it to have the right cling fit, or would I be better off with a Medium? Thanks.
 
I think that's going to be tough one to answer.. anyway you can get with the manufacturer about their size charts.. just my opinion but I think you'll be needing the large... I think the medium would eventually bust at the seams and crunch your crotch because of your height. maybe you even have to consider x-large.

Yes, definately get w/the manufacturing size chart, but to give you something to go on, hubby & I just bought the Henderson Polyfin (something..don't remember the whole name) & he is 5'9 and weighs about 170. The large fit him perfectly.

Now, on the other hand I went by the manufactures sizing chart & must have gained weight, mine was too small. Had to return it & get the next size up. Granted on the sizing chart I was inbetween the extra small & the small. Guess, I was just hoping to fit into the extra small. If your inbetween sizes on the size chart, order the next size up.
