Personal Experiences?

Since they were sold to Huish I can't say for sure what their actual sizes are. However, they used to run small. I'm 5'7" and at 150 used a large Oceanic BC. Need to remember they are made in Asia and I find a majority of products like this made there for many mfg's run small. As much as one full size.

My husband is 5’9”, 150lbs, waist 30”, don’t know his chest measurement...he chose to buy a large over the medium. Both fit him well, but the medium was noticeably shorter than he liked so he chose large. He dove with it recently in Cozumel and loves it.

I have the female version. My measurements are between small and medium but I chose small for a snugger fit.

So the sizing is quite flexible. I think the large will fit you fine.

I am 5'10" and 170 lbs, 34" waist and 39" chest, my large is a bit big for me even on its smallest adjustment. There is a LOT of adjustment range, I suspect a medium would do you fine. I can dive the large but it's a little looser in the chest area than I'd like.

Probably a bit late, but 6'2, 180Lbs and I'm in a medium.
