u prob want a 50 or a 48. The sleeves come extra long. and the bicep/forearm area is kinda big. i either need to work out or get my bicep/forearm area resized. i already got the sleeves shortened. I'm 5'11" 190lbs and wear a 52. I could squeeze into a 50. My suit is a 50.

It's actually nice to have on some summer days up there... I think it's available non-perf, too.
