The for value needs to match the id of the target input, so your markup should be:

<input type="checkbox" id="shipping" value="fast_shipping"
      name="user_shirt size"><label class="light" for="shipping">Fast Shipping</label><br>
      <input type="checkbox" id="newsletter" value="subscribe"
      name="user_shirt size"><label class="light" for="newsletter">Subscribe to Newsletter</label><br>
