Joe- Good question. The CW-X Support tights are designed to stretch and to accommodate a range of heights and weights. The most important spec is the distance from your knee to your waist. For some people like me, most of my height is in my upper body. So my legs are fairly short. I am 5'11 and 175 and I wear a Medium. In your case, I would recommend a size Large Mens. I think at 5'9 you can still get the correct positioning of the knee area and the tights will still sit comfortably on your waist. Another option is to look at the CW-X Performx Tight. I think Backcountry is sold out at the moment, but this tight has medial and Lateral knee support and it's not as important to position the knee in the right spot. The Performx tight works very well for people that are tall and skinny or a little shorter. I hope you find a good solution.
