HI SV71,
I'd look at the charts that determine your size at ,for instance, scubatoys,leisurepro or your local dive shop (LDS).Different makes can be slightly larger or smaller.And I'd look at Backplate/wings, even if you are new to all this. Go to forums here at scuba board and read treads back some months ago.Just get a bc which will complement the kind of diving you wish to do.....Luck, and safe diving.....PORBEAGLE
 
ok thanks man. Ill be doing alot of diving in lake michigan since im not a person with gobbs of money lol i cant really afford to go anywhere nice.This is just gonna be a fun hobby for getting in shape more before i leave for the military.I have noticed that the large is just about what i need as far as fitment.
 
If you go with Zeagle, you can get each of the parts a different size. That'll handle wide/narrow shoulders, wide/narrow waistlines and tall/short divers and all combinations.

Give ScubaToys a call and they can get you set up.
 
ok. I was browsing ebay and actually found a bcd that is just about exact specs and its a awesome price.Now i just have to find a good reg combo

I'd imagine probably an L or XL from most manufacturers would fit. Obviously the best option is just to go along to the LDS and try a few (or get a backplate, of course, which fits everyone :)).
 
Each manufacturer has different size measurements. Again, would be best you try them out at your LDS.
