I want one of these, I'm going to get one of these... but I don't know what size to get. I cant find a sizing chart on the 5.11 website. I've also searched all over the internet for a size chart and can't seem to come up with anything. 5.11 VTAC Vest
I know I either need the Regular option or the 2XL option. Can anybody give me some feedback on these? I'm about 6'2, 235 lbs. I wear XL tops. |

First, I think you will be very happy with the VTAC vest! I have one and love it. I am 6' 3" and 240 and I bought the 2XL size, it fits great. I am sure a 2XL would work for you, but you could probably go either way (XL or 2XL), I have it set up when I am wearing just a T-shirt it is a bit big, but If I am wearing some heavier tops/layered tops it fits great. It is a bit snug if I am wearing a sweatshirt or something similar, but it still fits. That is one of the best parts to this very durable and comfortable pieces of gear, the fact that it very adjustable for body type and how you plan to run it.
Hope this helps! |

When you said that you have it set up so it is loose while wearing a T-shirt, but it can still be adjusted so it fits tighter? And snug with a sweatshirt? Can it be let out some? Could sombody put a heavy winter coat underneath it? |
| Yes and yes, all of the above. You could adjust it to fit over a jacket if so desired, of course assuming that the jacket is of reasonable thickness. I have mine set up that way so I could run it no matter what I am wearing. It is functional and comfortable with all of my normal day to day clothing. |
