I&#39;m a short guy, 5&#39;4 and my waist is 30 inches. I know some would say go to the store, get fitted but I live in a small college town and there isn&#39;t a good location to do this. I&#39;d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions as to which would be suitable. Small or Medium. Thanks everyone. question_275524 Sun, 06 May 2012 14:01:01 GMT
