I really like all of the LavaCore stuff - I have a hooded shirt, regular shirt, pants and a jumpsuit. The fit is pretty strange - I ended up ordering much larger sizes than what the size chart said (about +2 sizes) - Im a "med/large" in their shirts and I usually wear about a size 10 ladies shirt (36C for those ladies out there that are thinking about it). For pants I wear a 10-12 in pants and I went with a Large in the Lavacore unisex pants. Same for the jumpsuit - I did a large. Its a little loose on top but its fine since I plan to wear it under a wetsuit. I LOVE the fact that I dont get windchill after getting out of the water. Awesome. It fits weird under your arms - very tight in the armpits - but when youre in the water you dont notice it at all. I think the tight fit keeps water from flowing around too much, which keeps you warmer, so thats fine with me. Note - this stuff does get looser when it gets wet, so you want it skin tight when its dry. If its too loose it wont do you any good. Hope this helps!

I always hate sizing charts and the forums say LavaCore runs small. I am just shy 62", 44 chest, 34 waste, 32 inseam, and weigh 185-190. I would like to buy LavaCore as separate pants and shirt. Can you recommend sizes? I think XL but...

The only thing we can say for sure is that according to the manufacturer's sizing chart you'd fall into a ML. If you are concerned about them running small, you are not far outside the range of the Large.
