Which one? I heard they can run big too.

I'm looking at the '05 Pressure suite.... I’m gonna be a bit more gun shy since the 3 ribs broke. I found it for $129.00.

Just to get back into riding is gonna run me about 4 to 500 bucks…. :eek:

I might Bitch now, :mumble: but when I’m riding, It’ll all be worth it. :thumb:

Look at the rockgarden stuff.

Much better quality IMHO and more importantly it tends to fit better for bigger dudes like yourself.

I tried their helmits, leg and arm armor and it was all very small, never tried the pressure suit

It depends what model you get. Their original light-duty jacket in XXL fit me like a lobster bib even though that's what size all my shirts are. I sold it to a dude who's 155# soaking wet and with the straps adjusted, it fits him very nicely.

I had to return Rockgrdn XL for a 661 Pressure Suit XL -- RG was way too small for me (220lbs) and sizing up left the straps in weird places. The 661 fit is a little sloppier, but at least I can zip it up. It was weird because the 661 short sleeve did not even come close to fitting, but thelong sleeve fit. Personally, a new rule for my book is ya gotta buy armor someplace you can try it on (in this case Cambria & Supergo when I was visiting NorCal and Snowshoe back home). Good luck.

Yeah, actually I did. I figured they would have a better idea about their own stuff. A much as I liked the 661, from what I could see the Rock Gardn offerd more adjustments and protection.

I should get it on Wen. 7th. I went ahead with their shorts too. They were on sale!

Thanks for the help! :thumb:
