Measuring Torso Length Note
In very general terms, anything under 17 is a small, 17-19 is a medium, and anything over 19 is a large. This may vary from company to company, so always check! Also, you can be measured professionally, for example, at EMS and REI as these are some reputable equipment sellers.
