What would be the recommended size/weight for 5'3" female with somewhat short arms?

It would honestly depend on strength. It would probably be best to start off with a low weight bow

The small is the smallest size they carry, so for sure you should get that size; they do stretch, and since your arms are not that long, as your height is 5'6", you will still even be able to cover the distance I can, which is from the top of a short sleeved T-shirt, all the way to the first knuckle of my hand closest to my wrist; you might be able to cover your entire upper arm, which is good in that it will prevent sun spots, which might not be noticeable now, but as people age you can see these brown splotches all over there arms, lots of pigmented areas, which these sleeves will serve to protect. Hope this helps...

I am 5'2" and the small was not too big if that is what you are worried about. I sometimes wish I had test rode the small and medium before buying one but I am on the heavier side and I think if I was thinner the small would be perfect. Hope this helps!!

I am about 5ft and the extra small fits. so I would suggest something like an xx small.

I am 5'8, 135lb female. It was too big for me. I had to squeeze it tight and it undercut my arms. I returned it.

It should fit you fine. My wife has arms of similar size and it works great for her.

My husband is 6'2 and the large was just perfect. He weighs. About 185, no problem with the arm length. Hope this helps.

I'm only 5'6", 156 lbs, but have long arms. I normally take a 15 1/2 32 shirt and the mediums fit me fine. Try one and return if not satisfied.

A three should still be ok... these give lots of space in the arms anyways... it's more dependent on the length of their arms than the size and bulk... if you want to be safe go ahead and get a 4... you can always adjust the size backwards if it's slightly too big

I am 5'3", 122 lbs. Medium is perfect for me. I wear a 34C bra. It is loose enough to be comfy but still has a somewhat fitted look because the sides are slightly tapered inward at the waist. I love this shirt. Perfect for exercise.

I stand 6.3 and weigh about 350. The XL fits me good and is tight on the arm's. Hope this helps.

I'm 5'5" and 175 and bought the medium. The length on the arms for me is perfect. I'd suggest you go with the large .

I'm 5'7" and the only thing I've got to say on the negative side is that the gear runs on the short side. Given your length, I'd go large. Besides, just make sure the order is fulfilled by Amazon you can easily return then for an exchange. If you've got the cash, you can even buy one in each size, try them on, and return the one you don't like. Still, large is my bet for you. The most important thing is to make sure you've got the right fit for the wrist guards, and these are some of the best I've used. The design is ergonomic, the fit on the lower hands is great, the guards for between your thumbs and hands is great, and the wrist extensions are solid. A bump on a shin or a scrape on an arm can heal quickly. A broken wrist because the guards don't fit right or give you proper coverage given the length you likely have on me, probably a good 2.5" reach each arm, go large and send them back if they're not right. You don't have much to lose if they're right the first time. Hope that helps. Good luck!

I believe large would be best. (Size large was just a little bit snug on my 140 lb mother who is less than 5 feet tall. I'm assuming that if you are at least 5 feet tall, your arms would be more slender and, thus, large should fit better.)

That's weird. I'm 5'3" and I weigh about the same. I bought a small last year. But I think I would have been more comfortable in a medium. I hope this helps.

I'm 5'4" and the small/short fit me perfectly in length of the coat and the arms. I can't speak for the long, but if you're on the shorter or taller size, you should use these size categories.

I am 5'6" . I purchased the medium. I would think that the small or medium would work for you. Try to go thru all the reviews and see what someone your size has to say if you haven't already. I tried to find reviews with close to my height. But I do think either small or medium would work. Good Luck.
