Depending on how large you are, even a skinny male in their 20s needs at least a large. This particular life jacket runs a bit smaller than other brands. Medium is suggested for those with a chest size of around 36-38". However, there is quite a bit of padding on these which makes it a little tighter. Go a size larger if you are unsure. A medium is good for someone around 130 - 150 pounds.
