Comments: Deciding on what size to order was tricky, but it worked out! I'm 5'3" and 150lbs, I have thicker thighs, but tiny wrists. I got the L/XL and it fits great! The wrist guards are just a tad big on me, but I still feel protected, and the other stuff fits perfectly. I would just keep in mind the smallest measurement for each component. Since these have velcro straps, you can always go tighter, but you can't make them more loose.
