Triathlon suit size?

Hi new guy here. I was thinking about getting a 1 piece triathlon suit for everyday biking and charity biking events. I am 5'3" 140lbs. Do you guys think medium will fit me? Thanks.

You will have to try it on yourself but no I do not think a men's medium will fit you. You are a men's small/xs or maybe a kid's large/xl

I'm 5'4" 150 and I've tried on several 1 pieces and could not find one to fit right. If the chest fit the distance from the shoulders to the crotch didn't or the legs were too small. I just go with 2 piece tri suits now.

You will have to go try them on for fit.
